I noticed my monitor is missing from display-name.c (BenQ); attached is
a patch to add it.  Also, I googled a bit and found a page with a
listing of EDID Manufacturer ID's - mine was not on it, but it contained
a number of other common monitors not already in display-name.c.

Hmm, this is on a fairly standard 965 system, and I've manually tested
using `xrandr` and it works correctly.  The one thing that may be
confusing it is that it's monitor is attached via a KVM, and the
monitor's EDID is not being returned properly (tested separately from
the KVM, the monitor does return proper EDID, so I'm fairly certain it
is due to the KVM).  Anyway, my guess would be that if used in a
situation where there is no edid information, perhaps the xrandr call
does not work properly?  I will do some additional investigation.

Will do.
