    which exactly is the whole problem as MorphOS' monitor settings are
    good for squeezing the last pixel out of an ancient CRTs but bad for
    using modern TFTs. If it was that easy ("set both the same and of
    course everything will work") then there wouldn't be a single point to
    ask.

    OK, so you don't have a 9250 then. If I already implement a new card
    then I just want a 9250 and a working one, not as the one that I
    already own. Therefore I need explicit model names that definitely
    work. "Buy any 92x0 and it will work" is untrue as we can see.

    I think I set up the min and max Hz and kHz for horizontal and
    vertical refresh, and if that allows 1920x1200, there you go.

    This is for sure the first thing to do if one wants to get a monitor
    to work with MorphOS. If it had worked I would have nothing to ask.
    But this bounds me to 1600x1200 as MorphOS is way behind the rest
    of the world here. As I could not find any tutorial that puts
    sync/pulse lengths and offsets in relation to TFT entities it stopped
    at digging in the dirt.
