How to deal with the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17 monitor in X Windows

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17 computer monitor in X Windows

This will only work with the exact model: MT-9017E

Description of the monitor

 * Product Title: S/H Iiyama Vision Master Pro 17" (0.25ag)
 * Publisher: Iiyama
 * Stock Code: IIY-MT9017ESH (or MT-9017E)
 * 17" Diamondtron
 * 16.5" viewable image
 * 0.25 mm dot pitch
 * Official Maximum Resolution: 1600 x 1200 at 72 Hz
 * H Frequency: 27-92 kHz (27.0-86.0 kHz depending on other sources)
 * V Frequency: 50–160 Hz
 * Input Connector: 15 pin and BNC

When you have a pitch of 0.25 on a 17 inch monitor, the best is to use 1300x975 resolution.

You can try this resolution if you want it at 100 Hz: 1152x864. It didn't worked for me well, only at 90 Hz.
