The negative story is that the exact same monitor fails to detect on mga matrox g400 and g550 and Radeon 9250.

I think I used the DVI to VGA convertor when connecting the monitor to the newer Radeon. Of course, this should not prevent the monitor from detecting.

Also some X drivers have the braindead default to ignore the info read from the monitor. They just log it but never use it unless a special option is set. Like the radeon driver included in Feisty.
