Thanks.  I knew things like this existed.  I've seen a similar thing
on a website, but it had a ton of different obscure parameters.  This
is really nice, just takes horizontal, vertical, and refresh rate.  I
was thinking.  With something like this, why couldn't
system-config-display use this to automatically generate a modeline
for modes not natively supported by X?
