What was the reason for adding the sync range hack?<br><br><pre>* Wed May 09 2007 Adam Jackson <<a href="mailto:ajax@redhat.com">ajax@redhat.com</a>> 1.3.0-6<br>- Re-add the sync range hack. (#235066)<br><br>* Tue Mar 20 2007 Adam Jackson <
<a href="mailto:ajax@redhat.com">ajax@redhat.com</a>> 1.3.0-5<br>- vesa-1.3.0-mode-heuristics.patch: If strict intersection of VBE and EDID<br> modes leaves no modes remaining after validation, try again with just<br>
range and VBE checks. Replaces earlier range-hack and validmode patches.</pre><br>
