Thanks for the explanation... There is an alternative to endless
explanation - roll out your best effort at a heuristic and let the
crowd contribute to an ever growing set of exceptions.

To play the devil's advocate, I'm asking why the monitor situation is
different from any other bit of hardware. Drivers for mice, touchpads,
wifi, NICs etc all suffer from the same lack of rigorous published
specs / documentation, they are supported in Linux, fallibly, by ever
growing tables of parameters and heuristics.
