It is a LCD running in analog mode on a VGA cable and the panel does work in the
Vesa modes. I just thought that since the panel was telling us it's optimal mode
line, that XFree86 should default to using it. My display does look better using
the optimal mode line than the VESA one.

I just think the default should be TRUE and then people with broken EDID or
custom modelines should turn it off.
