None of my machines have an xorg.conf with a sample modeline for that. Could someone post an example I could try please? Or even better, are there docs someplace that would describe how to do that? I just looked at the modeline description in a man xorg.conf, and that lacks the specifics I'd need to make a quasi-intelligent first guess. Thanks all.
