** Description changed:

  X is not correctly detecting my monitors' timings. Despite being a
  digital connection (with allegedly EDID), I have to force a modeline
  with xrandr. The graphical xrandr tools (arandr, or KDE's system-
  settings) do not work.
  
  I used to think this was solved with the binary drivers (first nvidia,
  then fglrx), but I now realise that a modeline can be generated with
  xrandr and they will work with the open-source driver.
  
  The 1600x1200 monitors are a pair of 20" 1600x1200 VideoSeven   devices,
  purchased in 2006, with DVI and VGA inputs. I'm using both of the DVI
  inputs, (one of which via an HDMI/DVI adapter cable).  They tend to be a
  bit fussy about being driven at the required 60Hz x 75 kHz, saying that
  the signal is out of range: they need 60x75, they are getting 60x75, but
  it's not good enough!).
  
  I attach xorg.log to this.  Also, here is what I get when I run xrandr
  (to list modes), then when I run my xrandr.sh script , then xrandr
  again. The 60 Hz mode is now listed as "59.9".
  
  
  I'm filing this on xserver-xorg-core  (2:1.15.1-0ubuntu8), though it might be 
a video-driver bug: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
