Your monitor has a buggy EDID and doesn't advertise a preferred mode
despite advertising 1.3.  Since it has a credible-looking detailed
timing, I've added a quirk for it to X Server master to prefer that one,
so if you update, you shouldn't need any of the modelines or
PreferredMode setting you currently have.
