X problems on Blade 100

Hi all,

I installed OpenBSD 3.2 on my Blade 100 this weekend. I got DHCP working and compiled some ports, and then I got the XF4.tar.gz from the FTP server and compiled XFree86 4.2.1. Once that was finished, I attempted to startx, and had some problems with the accelerated configuration. I would hit startx, and the screen would blank out, then come up gray with a floating box that said "Sync. out of range". I looked around on the web for the monitor's specifications and found this page:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/Monitor/MONITOR_Color_17_Entry_C RT.html#365-1406

This is the exact monitor I have (model DP17MO). However, even using the following settings for XF86Config does not resolve the floating "Sync. out of range" problem.

Section "Monitor"

  Identifier 	"My Monitor"
  HorizSync	30-75
  VertRefresh	50-160

EndSection

Section "Device"

  Identifier	"Card0"
  Driver	"ati"
  BusID		"PCI:0:19:0"
  Option	"composite_sync" "True"

EndSection

I will add that I have not tried the unaccelerated configuration, but then again, I have no interest in that configuration unless I find out that the accelerated config won't work with my monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
