Maybe it's a case of the monitor not supporting its own spec.

There was this in my /var/log/XFree86.0.log

(WW) (1280x1024,ViewSonic GS790) mode clock 157.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 
150MHz
(WW) (1600x1200,ViewSonic GS790) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 150MHz

I changed the line in the xf86 config file, but same result.

I think I'm going to downgrade to 4.2.1-r2. Then maybe winex et al will work 
again.
