I own a GPU whose VGA output is DVI-I-1, which RetroArch + SwitchRes does not seem to recognize. It would be great if a feature to put a custom display name in the retroarch.cfg file was added.

I will look into adding this feature. It will not only help people out in your position but will also improve swithing speed.

If a custom id is detected the id loop can be ignored.

if you do, https://www.bountysource.com/issues/54863951-linux-retroarch-doesn-t-respect-monitor-index is along similar lines

I have this same problem, since my card has two analog output (DVI-I-1 going to my monitor and VGA-1 going to my 15khz set), the current version of retroarch seems to be bugged for this sort of setup as the output never seems to be set to 15khz.

I have verified that my pc can actually output 15khz to my tv set and display it correctly (in 240p mode) using xrandr from the a terminal in the desktop, but I haven't been able to get this working on retroarch yet.
