http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/ looks like it may have potential!

This produces exactly the same results as running without any modes specified: highest resolution that the monitor can handle at 60 Hz (even if it exceeds the maximum dot clock supported by the monitor). Therefore, my vote is "no" unless someone invents some heuristics for avoiding that effect for CRT monitors.

The exception is the buggy "savage" driver which cannot read EDID from the monitor and defaults to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Upgrading to the latest beta Xorg solves the "savage" problem.
