I would have thought so to. A Google search for:

Optiquest Q9 xorg.conf

(I had to use Google's cache as the Redhat site was down) suggests you
need to add:

       HorizSync    30.0 - 80.0
       VertRefresh  55.0 - 75.0

to the Monitor section of Xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Q9-2 Series"
        Option          "DPMS"
        HorizSync    30.0-80.0
        VertRefresh  55.0-75.0
EndSection

and restart X (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE should do it).

Hope that fixes it.
