In the old days, this was exactly what you always had to do. I had to
manually calculate all the timing numbers from hints privided by the
monitor documentation (usually hidden in the advertising blurb on the box the
monitor came in), having been warned that if I got them wrong I could
destroy the monitor.

That was in the old days, when momitors didn't have much to say to
computers.

THe current situation is just dreamy by comparison.
