    I've got a dual display setup, and it had been working fine once I
    finally got the config done. They're two displays running off one
    graphics card, one through the DVI output and one through the D-SUB.
    Today I had to switch the inputs that the monitors use, and it just
    doesn't work anymore. I get a message on my left display that says
    "Out of range." This isn't an Xorg or FreeBSD error, it's a message
    from the displays built-in HUD. This doesn't make any sense because
    as far as Xorg is concerned, there shouldn't be any difference. The
    D-SUB display should be on the left, and the DVI one should be on the
    right. I really don't understand what could be causing a problem, but
    for what it's worth, the display now connected to the D-SUB has always
    been more finicky than my other display. They're a ViewSonic vp201
    (D-SUB) and Dell 2001fp (DVI). Here's my config:
