[ale] XFree86 "virtual size"

[Dow Hurst]

On the 20" LCD displays from Dell I had to specify 60Hz exactly in the 
vertical refresh part of the XF86Config file.  Otherwise the driver 
would try to go a tad higher and then not be able to initialize the 
display.  Your display documentation ought to give you an exact 
frequency for vertical and horizontal rates for a given size.  Specify 
them exactly and you might get further.
