The problem with auto-detection is that it's a leap-frog game. Products
that are newer than the software won't be in the Model Database.
Fortunately, there are Generic LCD entries which you can choose.
But I did run across a 22" Wide Dell last summer that I couldn't make
run in 1680x1050; I couldn't get more than 1280x1024 out of it.
