Okay, maybe it was because I tried so many different things yesterday, but I 
passed the option "NoDDC" today, and it eliminates the error.  However, it 
still uses a range that I do NOT specifiy, the one that it used when it 
kicked the error, 45.71-50.33.  It then says that it will only use the 
"built-in" modes of 1280x800 and 1024x768.  The video bios still shows the 
other, desired modes when using 855resolution and 915 resolution.

Now the odd thing is that when I use 6.8.2, the HorizSync gets set to the 
range I specify (30-50), and then kicks 1280x800 out because it doesn't fall 
into that range.  When I run 6.8.2 w/o specifying the HorizSync, then it says 
it's using the "default" range of 28-33, and includes all desired modes 
(1280x800, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480).

I think the real issue is why my HorizSync does not seem to be honored in 6.9 
like it is in 6.8.2, and why Xorg is defaulting to the much higher hsync 
range in 6.9.
