Unfortunately, it appears that the monitor doesn't have this capability.

I wonder if this is a problem with the i810 driver?  I saw some references
on Google to the warning:

(1152x864,Generic Monitor) mode clock 100000MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
(320x200,Generic Monitor) mode clock 100000MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
(1600x1200,Generic Monitor) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz

A 100 GHz mode clock for 320x200 seems excruciatingly unreasonable...
