Xorg.log containing DDC info as reported from my FP231W

If you scroll down to where it says "Supported additional Video Mode" (around
line 435), you see that it contains enough information to construct a working
modeline for 1920x1200. This information is printed whether or not I include
the modeline in my xorg.conf.

But without the modeline, it wouldn't actually run at the resolution, as you
can see, it complains "(WW) (1920x1200,BenQ FP231W) mode clock 162MHz exceeds
DDC maximum 160MHz", but with the modeline it does it anyway, with no apparent
problem.

Presumably the 1920x1080 mode could be achieved as well, but I have not tried
that yet. I can try it if you want, but otherwise I won't bother.
