'wrong' frequencies used for 1920x1080 resolution

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

I connected PandaBoard to my 24" Samsung 2494HM monitor's HDMI input to check how it goes with FullHD resolution. It switched but my monitor was complaining that resolution is not optimal. I have to admit that screen was very far from optimal:

- left edge of printed screen was out of monitor
- letters were very hard to read

Monitor menu said:
- 67.5kHz 60Hz 1920x1080 for PandaBoard
- 66.4kHz 60Hz 1920x1080 for my ATI Radeon 5450 (open drivers)
