was also thinking in terms of checking for "time-up" warn-

In case not, you may face situations where either the screen
does not fit properly, or there is flicker or snow. Under such

"xvidtune" utility, in the [auto] mode ... Try output values
as Modeline in the Monitor section of XF86Config file.
