That's sort of what I was thinking, too, at first. I like pushing things to the highest resolution I can (which, if I remember right, was 1600x1200x15).
Even when I finally broke down and used a lower resolution, though (using out-of-the-box settings, which may or may not have been different on each distro I tried), it still happened. At least once a day, the video would go nuts at 1600x1200, 1280x1024, or 1024x768. Actually, once a day would have been nice -- it was more like every couple hours or so, or more often if I was doing something important. =) In any case, I've never seen a bad modeline cause video to randomly lose synch after X has been up and running a while. I'm totally baffled.
