Yep, that seems required for the Lombard panel. Either the vertical
refresh rate is really that low, or X internally doubles the rate. I'm
sure you can somehow measure the rates to figure out what's up....

These values are safe boundaries for X to calculate mode timings. In
theory, it might be possible to damage badly designed hardware by using
grossly out of range settings. I doubt it's critical in this case (I'm
using the weird settings for over a year now IIRC).

X 4.2.1 runs fine with neither of them. I've noticed little difference
with or without the DMAMode option.... running x11perf with either config
should tell if that's actually true.
