Any chance that it's a wide screen that has an option in the menu to either
automatically or manually adjust to a standard 3:4 resolution?
I've got a samsung syncmaster and on this particular monitor at least if I set
menu->setup->image size
to auto instead of wide (so that it gives a non-stretched screen for 3:4
resolutions) the edid comes out wrong and X doesn't recognize the high
resolutions. I don't recall what is the default behavior with this monitor
though.
