Okay - which modes were excluded by X and what were their modelines?  Did
they fall into the specified clock timings in the datasheet (especially
the dot clock)?  Do you get an error message in the X log when you try
to switch to one of these modes?

Also, what happens if you ignore DDC and specify 1600x1200 directly as
a mode?
