Upon your suggestion I reviewed my XF86config file and made the changes you
had suggested along with a few others and it works. Thank you kevin I can
now truly sleep better. :) The changes I made are directly after this
message. I ended up modifying the file I got from output of the
xf86config console based program.
ahhhh relaxed,
Ben

Unless I'm missing something, you don't seem to have any Modelines listed or
default modelines selected in the various Display subsections (just color
depths).
