The problem with my Dell "HCXD50J" seems to be related to the autoconfiguration of X getting very conservative acceptable values for hsync. I wonder if the probing failures (i. e. get-edid reporting errors and flagging the result as untrustworthy) results in the upper limit of hsync being as low as 37.90 kHz?
Anyway, adding HorizSync 31.50-50.00 to the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf resolved the issue for me. diff -u of xorg.conf(-orig) and new Xorg.0.log attached in new compressed tarball which unpacks adjacent to the old one.
