You *might* want to play with the DDC option in your xorg.conf, to stop
it probing your hardware for settings, so it just uses what you,
configure yourself.

e.g. Option "DDC" "off"

You can try reading the man files for your graphics chipset, e.g. "man
i810" (substituting whatever yours actually is), but I've found that
some of the options mentioned in these man files were completely
ignored.
