The X log, at least for the intel run, should show the exact timings
being sent to the monitor, as well as what the monitor reports for
capabilities.  That said, there could easily be bugs in the intel
driver.

Rounding error.  Monitors are not particularly smart.

Would normally agree about 'rounding error', but setting the driver to
'intel' puts 2 monitors 'out of range' for Horiz.  Also, the monitors
have no problem reporting 74.6 for 'i810' vs. 77.8 for 'intel'.  There
must be a difference in the actual signal.  No?

What exactly from Xorg.0.log would be useful for me to provide?
