One would hope so. But the X server does, in fact, ignore any HorizSync, VertRefresh, Option "MaxClock", and a number of other monitor configuration statements when this information is obtained from EDID data. And I don't like that. I want to be able to override things. I want it to use the EDID data if there are no corresponding explicit configuration statements. But an explicit configuration statement should always, in my opinion, be able to override any probed value. -- .''`.
