Back in the day, that was true. But with modern monitors (I'm not
sure of the spec, I think is part of the VESA compliance requirements)
the video driver can query the monitor for what refresh rates and
modes supported by the monitor. This is what the "DDC" module in X is
for, and why monitors no longer require 'drivers' (which was never a
'driver' anyway, just a .inf that told the video driver what the
possible modes were).
