Okay. I had been looking for that part, too.
Can you please point me to that part of the spec?

Well, I have at least one monitor at home
(a quite old 17" ViewSonic or OptiQuest 1769DC)
which comes up at a different refresh rate depending if it
was powered on or off (but always plugged in) during system start.

Actually I don't care about that so much... I just fixed the xorg
settings manually. Automatic stuff which fails once in a while without
telling that it fails is just worth *nothing*.
