Since your monitor is a CRT and its EDID does not specify a preferred mode,
neither randr nor the driver know which mode you want as the default.  Some
users prefer 1024x768, others prefer 1280x1024, etc.  Setting a preferred mode
in your xorg.conf is the correct fix.

That said, I suppose the randr core code should prefer modes from the detailed
timing block of the edid over other modes when picking a default if there is no
preferred mode defined.  That would need to be fixed in the xserver, not the
driver.  Open a bug against the xserver.
