monitor displays random pixels on Xwindows exit


I'm having a bit of trouble with the setings for my monitor. I use integrated Nvidia video, and I have a Gateway VX700. Whenever I exit an Xwindows system, rather than displaying the prompt, the screen turns to a bunch of random pixels somewhat in lines- so I have to reboot. The only way I have ever gotten my monitor to work is to leave the monitor section in xorg.conf pretty much empty- no values for freq ranges, etc. I'm at work right now but its something like this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"

Ive tried editing the ranges that xorgsetup gave, as I found settings for my monitor on the net, but I always get a freq out of range error in any case except leaving it blank as above.
Ive installed the latest Nvidia drivers.

Anyone have any idea how to go about fixing this?

Thanks
