But is this info from the monitor? Or is this standard info based on
the settings it reads from config files?
I'm wondering if this info would have been the same before I added
1024x768 to my xorg.conf file.
When the hardware tab reports "unknown monitor" that is your cue to
set monitor type to "Generic CRT".
The resolution info reported by xrandr is a table of values that apply
to monitors capable of doing 1024x768 @75 which is Generic CRT
1024x768. Does that work for your monitor?
If not, you may have to edit xorg.conf to lower the maximum vertical
refresh rate. There will be a line like
VertRefresh 55.0 - 85.0
Change the 85 to 65, which is more conservative.
