Just for the record, with this patch the following modes (as printed by 
modetest) on the VGA output now produce correct result with my monitor:

  1920x1080 60 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 flags: nhsync, nvsync
  1600x1200 60 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 flags: phsync, pvsync
  1360x768 60 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795 flags: phsync, pvsync

The second mode used to not display at all, with a message telling that 
timings were out of range, and the other two modes used to produce a displayed 
image partly shifted or scaled out of the screen boundaries.

The following modes still produce an image partly out of the screen 
boundaries.

  1600x900 60 1600 1624 1704 1800 900 901 904 1000 flags: phsync, pvsync
  1280x960 60 1280 1376 1488 1800 960 961 964 1000 flags: phsync, pvsync
  1366x768 60 1366 1436 1579 1792 768 771 774 798 flags: phsync, pvsync
  1366x768 60 1366 1380 1436 1500 768 769 772 800 flags: phsync, pvsync
  1280x720 60 1280 1390 1430 1650 720 725 730 750 flags: phsync, pvsync

And this one is reported to be out of range.

  1920x1200 60 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 flags: nhsync, pvsync

There is thus still room for improvement (some of the issues are possibly due 
to my monitor though), but there's also an improvement, and no noticeable 
regression.
