Yes, and it says either a standard refresh rate, or one of the formats
in /usr/gfx/ucode/GR2/vof. Which suggests that compiled formats also
work with the GR2.

Well, it's certainly not true that the Extreme only supports 72Hz -- I
already managed to compile a format that drove it at 90Hz. So I suppose
76Hz would work as well -- if only I could find a format for it.
