Your HorizSync & VertRefresh lines are _extremely_
conservative, add another "Monitor" section, populated
as you wish with funny names:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LlamaLlanoLlautu"
VendorName "Nancy Pelosi"
ModelName "Tim Curry"
HorizSync 31-92 # Note: Do Not Use These
VertRefresh 55-160 # Numbers, Look It Up For
# Your Monitor. You can do
# real damage with bad numbers.
# (It is actually an NEC E750)
EndSection
. . .
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "LlamaLlanoLlautu"
. . .
I would think that the limit on the number of possible
"Monitor" definitions would be quite large, you might
want to leave the default vga stuff in there, just in case
you happen to need it at some point, just change the
"Screen" section to reflect what you are using.

has been quite useful to me in the past looking up refresh
rates on equipment for which I did not have the documentation.
