One other question, how does MS Windows figure out the correct modelines when the EDID of the monitor is incorrect? (I did not try the shipped Windows 8 at all but assume it works.)
It's not incorrect, you can have multiple modes with different clocks for saving power. E.g., when the system is idle for a while, switch to the lower clocked mode.
If the display is not able to display something with a certain modeline, I’d call it incorrect. What did I miss?
