You can always put the card into a PC in which it won't be the primary
display and you can use the NVRAM or flash it with videobios or fpga
binary which will implement your specific monitor timing right after boot.

This makes me think - would it be too hard to support some non-PCI
interface? like RS232 or USB1? primarly for firmware updates off-PC, or
use a SD card instead of SPI eeprom? Sorry for coming with this now as
the board is already designed.
