"Out of range" is displayed by the monitor when you ask it to display
a signal that it can't handle.  This is usually caused by having the
horizontal sync rate too fast or the vertical retrace set to a rate the
display can't deal with.  Check the owner's manual of the monitor you
have and check the "specifications" page.  Match that up against what
you have selected in the xfree86 configuration for your monitor.
