Ok.

Ok.

>       HorizSync       30-85

>       Option "DPMS"

Ok.

> 30.0 - 85.0
> 30.0 - 85.0

=> there's something going wrong here.

=> and here too. The 3 additional lines are definitely not ok, but
I'm not yet sure where they might come from. :-/

How are you running grml-x? (I mean the commandline switches to grml-x.)

Does running:

% grml-x -hsync 30-85 -vsync 50-160 -mode 1024x768 $WINDOW_MANAGER

help?

Can you please provide me the output of 'get-edid | parse-edid' too?

It definitely helps debugging a problem I wasn't aware of. :)
