Anyway, I got my low bandwidth mode to be recognized. I found that I had
to explicitly associate my monitor section with the video output:

	Option "Monitor-DVI-1" "VP201s"

If I instead let the server associate the monitor section by default,
then it would ignore my PreferredMode directive and my custom modeline
in the monitor section. Go figure.

Also, I had to give my custom modeline a custom name. If I tried to name
it "1600x1200", in an attempt to override the bad EDID mode, the server
would freeze on startup, black screen, remote kill -9 to recover. So I
can augment the modelist, but not override it in the config file.
