Thanks for your help NoOp...

Here comes the data I extracted with this little package  -but now I
don't know what does it mean - according to mysituation, if I can use
my monitor @ 100Hz, 1024x768 ?
It is 96kHz capable, so it should work...

What's next?

Thanks!

Here comes the results for
$ sudo get-edid | parse-edid

The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed
EDID claims 19 more blocks left
EDID blocks left is wrong.
Your EDID is probably invalid.
parse-edid: EDID checksum failed - data is corrupt. Continuing anyway.
parse-edid: first bytes don't match EDID version 1 header
parse-edid: do not trust output (if any).
