I'd try adjust the frequencies first, then try modelines.

I'd try that too if I had a clue how to do it, let alone do it safely.
Got any pointers to FMs?
If you have a flat panel it will not mess up your monitor because they
have safeguards against that and also modelines don't go in the monitor or
screens section...they go in the modes section...did u try what i mentioned in
my last post.
It's a flat panel.
I did not know what to do with your last post, as the modelines were not
acceptable.
The actual rates the monitor is showing now are 54.2KHz and 60.2Hz, which are
well within specs.
I chose the section from memory. In the pre-Xorg-pre-XFree days I seem to
recall using different modelines at different depths.
Modes section all by itself, not a subsection? I'll try that.

If it was a subsection my post would have stated EndSubSection or something
similar...Place the modes section after the InputDevice Section. Get your own
modes...using gtf and slip them into the modes section like so:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "16:10"
<you modeline here>
EndSection
But remember, you can leave out or specify the identifier ratios depending on
whether it will work for you or not.
