I don't like the patch, because:
- it adds files with non gpl license
- files are ms-dos formatted (wrong linebreaks)
- files are huge, to do very small thing

To work around this you should look at the scitech code and write you
own minimal implementation without 3 pages of comments.

Btw. for negotiating monitor timing you could look at vesa ddc (check
www.vesa.org).
