Public bug reported:

Dear Launchpad readers,

Changes to a 40Hz-based mode are adjusted back to a 60Hz display mode by
KMS, as can be seen in the logs with the drm.debug=4 option :

oct. 18 16:27:24 NovHak-P2 kernel: [drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] 
requested mode:
oct. 18 16:27:24 NovHak-P2 kernel: [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline [drm]] 
Modeline 0:"" 0 92450 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1111 0x0 0x9
oct. 18 16:27:24 NovHak-P2 kernel: [drm:intel_dump_pipe_config [i915]] adjusted 
mode:
oct. 18 16:27:24 NovHak-P2 kernel: [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline [drm]] 
Modeline 0:"1920x1080" 60 140490 1920 1972 2007 2094 1080 1083 1089 1118 0x48 
0x9

I managed to have 40Hz through EDID modification, swapping the two DTDs
it contains, one being 60Hz, the other 40Hz, hence placing the 40Hz DTD
first, but then it remains sticked to 40Hz and unable to switch to a
60Hz mode.

I suppose the bug is i915-related rather than Xorg-related, since the
modelines seem correctly sent for KMS.

I can provide additional information if needed.
