Come to think of it, my CRTs provide a fuzzy resolution as well.

Now, if that's true, what would happen if you only have xconfig for

The optimal resolution for the subject LCD is 1280 x 1024 60hz. Yet I do not
see a modeline for that resolution in the XF86config-4 file.

I used a modeline generator and it returned a modeline of:
Modeline "1248x936 at 75" 135.00 1248 1280 1792 1824 936 953 965 983
I wonder if this would be the modeline for the "native resolution"
(Apparently 1280X1024 can not quite be achieved with my monitor).

Further I wonder if these modelines would only be applicable to a CRT
monitor, as I have read that modern LCDs' resolutions are calculated by
software.
