You are not the first one who reports such a problem, but alas,
there has been no statement about this from the french guys who
created XRetinaZ2 so far. The old Retina Z2 server always worked
for me (even with a monitor creation of my own), but now I don't
have a Retina Z2 anymore in my computer, so I cannot try the new
ones.

I'm now running the new Retina ZIII X-Server, which is in the
incoming/experimental directory, and though this is a very first
attempt (which can still be optimized in many ways), it runs
reliable here. 

From what Markus wrote, this X-Server ALSO works on the Retina Z2,
Markus actually has both a Z2 and a Z3 in his computer, so he's
probably tested this. As I wrote before, I cannot test the new
server on the Z2, but you may do so, and I can assure you there
are suitable gfx-modes available for your 38.5kHz monitor in it
(currently, you need to binpatch the kernel to select the mode!)

BTW, I'm using the 19-3 binaries.
