The problem is not with X, even in the console when I set up 60Hz I get 59
and things like that, your debugging info says that it is computing one
clock and only gets an approximation, that is the main problem I see with
this. You can see this in my previous messages and in the dmesgs I made
available.

BTW, there seems to be a problem with 800x600 in the last patches, the
screen gets borked when you try to set this mode, I believe this didn't
happen before :-?

Also we have discovered that DPMS doesn't work, in X we don't get DPMS nor
blanking. Was it supposed to be working?
