[Intel-gfx] How can I set non-60Hz-Modes?

[Dexter Filmore]

That's what I do now. Thing is, the same TV provided EDID to an nvidia before 
and there I could use the settings tool to tweak these things.
I'd like the machien to go 50Hz at login tho. 
I can tinker a script, but this just does not seem to be working as supposed.
