I've managed to solve my own bug (#10545) by applying the following
patch to the xserver.
Please apply.
<Conspiracy mode on>
This monitor is "Vista Certified". I wonder if this is a pure coincidence...
<Conspiracy mode off>
With kind regards

(cherry picked from commit a63704f14a)
This Acer monitor reports support for 75hz refresh via EDID, and yet when
that rate is delivered, the monitor does not sync and reports out of range.
Use the existing 60hz quirk for this monitor.
(cherry picked from commit 1328a288e9)
Code added in hw/xfree86/modes came from the server-1.3-branch.
Portions of this code had previously been integrated into xf86Mode.c
and edid_modes.c.
To preserve hw/xfree86/modes as much as possible, the duplicate code from
the other files has been disabled; a more careful review would figure out
where that code actually belonged.
This code comes from the intel driver, so there's no history in this tree.
As the crtc/output-based mode selection code uses ddc, the ddc and i2c
modules have been merged into the server. Attempts to load them are safely
ignored now.
