Hmmm...I am not familiar with using 'videogen' to generate modelines. In
fact, it has been a VERY long time since I have even worked with
modelines. The only way I configure X in debian now is to run:
`dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86`
Then, when it gets to the screen that says "Please choose a method for
selecting your monitor characteristics.", I select 'Advanced'. The next
two screens are where I enter the horizontal sync range and vertical
refresh range.

If 'videogen' works like I think it does, I believe your procedure will
work. (I just installed it. Using your settings, I got about 85Hz vert
refresh at 1024x768 when using max_dotclk = 90).
I am no expert, but after looking around a bit it appears that
increasing the dotclock beyond what the monitor is rated for may be
relitively harmless.
>From 'XFree86 Video Timings HOWTO':
"Having a pixel clock higher than the monitor's maximum
bandwidth is rather harmless... It's exceeding the rated maximum
sync frequencies that's problematic."

I hope some of this helps!

Thanks, Dave, for the link! There are quite a few times this
would've/will come in handy.
