This isn't a driver issue. XFreee86 4.3 adds alot more modes to the modepool
than the ones listed in the XF86Config file. <ctrl><alt><+/-> will flip through
the modes in the XF86Config, but you can access all of them through the vidmode
extension, and the apps you are using aren't choosing them carefully enough. If
you don't want to allow the apps to chose low res modes narrow down the vertical
refresh range listed in the XF86Config file.
