Jennifer had already established that she was using an LCD monitor.
AFAIK, CRTs are the only ones that you have to worry about frying with
bad h/vsychs.  Therefore, getting the h/vsynch variable out of the mix by
just telling XFree to use a nice, big range for both seemed to be a
decently simplifying thing to do.  Did I make some wrong assumptions?
