I've seen this with VGA connections - e.g I've a 9550 (RV350 AS) and for
DVI connection it works fine with the file generated by 'Xorg
-configure' with accel and drm, but with VGA fails with 'out of range'.
I needed to tell it which display resolution to use by adding a 'Modes'
clause to the "Display" subsection of xorg.conf e.g:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" # whatever mode your monitor uses here
EndSubSection
EndSection
