xrandr is part of the problem - it doesnt list the modes that used to be
available (or that both the monitor and videocard have for that matter),
only the ones that xorg *thinks* are available (and it doesnt seem to
think very hard about it), which I am convinced is set by Alan's "toss
of a coin" method.
