Yah, I might have some luck with that. Since I'm years out of practice
fooling with this stuff (last seen in 2002) can someone point me at the
tools for
1) Computing a modeline (I understand the quality varies a lot)
2) Configuring an xorg.conf
Check out x11-apps/amlc -- it has an interactive modeline generator
where you tell it the aspect ratio& size of your screen and it spits
out modelines for you. You'll still need to fill in the
HSync/VSync/Clock speed stuff.
Does this help any?

That's just a part of my xorg.conf. I don't use hal and don't like udev
doing mine so I still got my full xorg.conf file. If you need more,
just let me know. Heck, I'll post the whole thing if it will help you any.
Also, have you tried running "X -configure" yet? I used it on another
machine and it worked pretty well.
