Can't Get XWindows Up

Since we use a KVM (monitor sharing server) here, and since your config program was unable to get EDID data
when configured like that, I hooked monitor directly into host computer, and Xorg -configure was able to pick up the  EDID data (saw it in the xorg.conf.new file). Xorg -configure complained about the data it got. Found two config parameters, having to do with horizontal and vertical sync, that did not agree with manufacturer's specifications

The values in xorg.conf.new before changes were:
   HorizSync    31.0 - 60.0
   HorizSync    65.0 - 0.0
   VertRefresh  56.0 - 0.0
Attached Xorg.0.log,  xorg.conf.new from this attempt to configure.
 
Changed to the following, taking out second HorizSync, but no luck, Xorg -configure errored out, saying it 
needed full ranges of values:
   HorizSync    31.0 - 60.0
   VertRefresh  56.0 - 0.0
 
Changed xorg.config.new to agree to mfg spec:
    HorizSync   31.0 - 60.0
    HorizSync   60.0 - 75.0
    VerRefresh  56.2 - 75.0
and reran configuration program, which ran, but locked up the monitor with the message below:
 
     VIDEO INPUT
     OUT OF RANGE
      H: 75.0kHz
      V: 60.0 kHz
 
Don't know where to go from here, what do you suggest?
