I first thought this is a bug either in X-server or drmlib. But then it
says "Not used in a functional way." about the vrefresh in the struct
drm_display_mode definition.

Now I wonder if we should use the value in the driver at all. I think we
should recalculate it unconditionally.

Also the place where the value is calculated is currently wrong. The
mode fixup is only executed if the encoder needs VESA-compliant sync.

I'll make a new patch with a comment of what is going on.

Best regards,
Jyri
