"generic default monitor" is the name written by debconf (dpkg- reconfigure xserver-xorg) into your xorg.conf.
Are your resolutions not detected correctly? Actually the list of monitors is for monitors that have got a broken edid (the monitor can report its possible settings to the os) and so cannot be detected automatically.
