For the curious, the easy way to generate such data as Ronald has in
his Xorg.0.log is by putting

    Option "ModeDebug" "true"

in the Screen (not Device) section of xorg.conf. I believe the
resulting debugging data also nicely replaces the Windows PowerStrip
utility that is sometimes suggested for extracing EDID modelines from
a monitor.
