The new Xorg server should be able to query monitor by itself for DDC edid info about it's capatibilities. This functionality works for me if I leave out monitor specific information from my Xorg.conf like this:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Generic Monitor"
    Option "DPMS"
EndSection

In the edid info there should be data for the recommended resolution and refresh rate. The problem is however that some monitors have this data wrong (so you don't get the right resolution or refresh rate), or the checksum of the complete data wrong (so you don't get the edid data used by X at all). Either way, could you send the output of the get-edid > Philips170B.edid as attachment to this bug, and possibly the xorg mailing list, so we can see what's wrong with the data and add a quirk for it in the Xorg code?
