You can read the XFree86-Video-Timings HOWTO which shows you how to make your own
modelines to put in XF86Config. It's pretty easy to follow. If you still have the
XF86Config from the Caldera install, copy the 1600x1200 modeline out of it and paste
it into your new install. I'm assuming that modeline was correctly configured.
