those settings are in your monitors manual. it is important to get those settings right, as entering the wrong ones could damage your hardware.. however you monitor has a protection feature, hence the 'over range' message (be glad its there).

if you cant find the vsync and refresh numbers, just go very low and youll have no problem. 640x480 and like 32hz for the refresh rate should be safe.

set it very low, and work your way up from there.

are you running X? the Xf86 config file is where you can specify these settings. if your not running X and getting the out of range message on your monitor, then try changing the monitors settings if it supports that.
