A little Googling suggests:

Section "Monitor"
     # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
     Identifier     "Monitor0"
     VendorName     "Unknown"
     ModelName      "NEC LCD73V"
     HorizSync       31.0 - 81.0
     VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
     Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

But I wonder why these weren't picked up via DDC/EDID?

Cheers,

John.
