It may be that the auto-sync feature of the monitor is requesting 87Hz
for that resolution and so it is bailing out since the refresh rate is
limited to a max of 85 by xorg.conf.  Note that you could have tested by
manually adjusting that setting in xorg.conf and seen if the new setting
would work.
