Bug Description
Booting from the Feisty 7.04 x86 live cd on an i810 based machine, I selected the safe graphics option to protect my 20" LCD monitor (a Dell 2001FP). This monitor optimally needs 1600x1200@60hz, and I wanted to be certain that it would not be damaged if not properly detected while using the VGA connection (rather than DVI). However, this resulted in a resolution of 640x480@87hz which is clearly not safe for an LCD monitor. Starting in normal mode gave 1600x1200@60hz, so why isn't safe mode locked with using VertRefresh so that there is no way for the refresh rate to exceed 60hz, and set the resolution to something appropriate?

This bug is critical as it can lead to monitor damage. Someone please confirm this behaviour - I have allocated this to the package xorg in the hope that it will be picked up.
