The quirk patch was committed to the upstream git head (to become 1.5) but might not be in the 1.4 branch that Hardy is tracking. Only selected fixes from the git head ("master") are ported to the 1.4 branch, see http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Server14Branch

Just correcting the links from my earlier post:

This commit adds quirks for some monitor models, so that the probed EDID info will be corrected. It will be included in xorg-server 1.5.

This commit fixes the "DisplaySize" option so that it will always override any probed EDID info and be used to calculate DPI correctly. This one will be in xorg-server 1.4.1 (and is already in Hardy).
