So why can 'Xorg -configure' detect my monitor frequencies

Does Hal depend on some kind of database to get the monitor spec's
that
my Dell M770 monitor may not be in?
What gives you the idea that HAL is now involved in the monitor
detection of Xorg? I run the current Xorg 7.4 on Sid (with an almost
empty xorg.conf) and my Xorg.0.log claims that the video driver module
probes the monitor, just like it was for the older versions.
