Public bug reported: This particular bug I am reporting is killing me from a few years ago, with every Linux distribution (so, from the removal of xorg.conf). Now that I have two computers, I can say I did find out the problem.
My monitor is a 17" Hansol H750 LCD, and I cannot use any Linux distribution without having my monitor say "out of range". I did find out the monitor is reporting a wrong maximum frequency: vfreq 333.176Hz, hfreq 355.166kHz - whilst its maximum is a 70-75 Hz. I am going to attach the output of get-edid (parsed), ddcprobe, and the xorg.conf that solved everything. I am at your complete disposal to solve this particular bug.
