    I hadn't been following this all the way through, but the way
monitors have been made for so long (standardizing) unless it's
something odd (like my old Sun 19" monitor that has no EDID and RGB
jacks on the back) the process of "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" can be
used to find a set of resolutions that are pleasing. It's amazing how
interactive it can be during the process...
