Xorg is usually smart enough to automatically produce an appropriate modeline
if you simply use xorg.conf to provide the resolution you want and your
diplay's HorizSync and VertRefresh specifications. IOW, manufacturing a valid
EDID is usually a lot of unnecessary work. Here, it has never been a
necessary workaround to oft-encountered invalid EDID.
