Public bug reported:

My CRT monitor - ADI Systems 16" - is correctly recognized and the list
of supported resolutions in System Settings > Displays looks good (not
all resolutions are listed, but the one's I'm interested in are). At
higher resolutions the monitor only supports low refresh rate, so I
select a highest resolution where 85Hz rate is supported, but the actual
mode set is that resoltion at 60Hz. Here is the xrandr output:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 1536, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+768 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm 
x 194mm
...
VGA1 connected 1280x768+86+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 320mm x 
240mm

   1280x960       60.0

   1024x768       85.0     75.1     70.1     60.0     43.5
   800x600        85.1     72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   848x480        60.0
   640x480        85.0     72.8     75.0     60.0     63.1
   720x400        85.0
   640x400        85.1
   640x350        85.1
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

I want the OS to select 1280x768 @ 85Hz (or 84.8 as reported). I can
switch to this mode manually with this command:

$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x768

after which the corresponding line of xrandr output changes to:

   1280x768       84.8*    74.9     59.9

as well as the monitor itself reports that it has switched to 85Hz, and
I didn't even explicitly asked xrandr for it.

That should have happened automatically.

I've been away from desktop linux for couple of years and am not sure
anymore what is the actual package resposible for this and what other
information is useful for developers, but if pointed to the right
direction will supply whatever you need.
