Public bug reported:
There are still a lot of Monitors which don't have a propper EDID. The
autodetection can't detect them right, but there is no solution provided
to configure these Mpnitors manually or Displayconfig-gtk is broken. It
is a big bad expirience for a user if the resolution or the refresh-rate
is stck at a undisireble configuration. A too low refresh-rate is also
bad for health (60hz).
(A comment from the blueprints: 2008-03-10 bryce: This is considered complete
now. There are a few corner cases where monitors aren't reporting proper EDID
(such as if used with a KVM that drops the EDID pin) where rates must be
manually specified, but it will never be possible to autodetect these;
something like displayconfig-gtk is the right tool to use in these cases if one
wishes to not deal with direct xorg.conf editing. Other unique cases, where the
monitor is reporting EDID, but improperly, are being handled via monitor quirks
into xserver on a case-by-case basis as they're discovered.)
