You shouldn't need to use GTF; the driver should auto-detect the monitor
and use DDC to acquire the EDID information which should include the
native panel resolution. However, I have one 1680x1050 panel in which
the EDID data is actually wrong -- the sync polarities are incorrect and
so the monitor does not automatically recognise the mode it asked for.

You should look in the log file for the EDID information and see if it
detected any.

no, the sarea data is just the maximum size of the screen, and we make
it large to allow for RandR resize.
