Setting custom screen resolution

[Bill Davidsen]

I remember there being a app which helped generate custom parameters for video 
drivers. I would like to get some custom resolutions:
    768x12426
    900x14562
   1024x16568
   1920x1186
   1280x791
   1024x632

Does anyone have a low effort way to generate mode lines?

Thanks, not the one I was thinking of, but even better!

Scaling error, the first three have the 2nd value expressed in 10ths, not 
rounded to the nearest dot. They are tall and skinny, roughly legal paper aspect 
in portrait mode, but not *that* tall. ;-)

In another discussion we were talking about aspect ratio, and wondering if 
values like that could actually be set for "how does that look to you"
evaluation.

Just curious, what kind of hardware does 1024x16568?! (At 60 Hz refresh,
that's a 1.5 GHz dotclock)
