This is a The r128 driver, when connected to an LCD, ignores all the numbers in the modeline except for the x and y resolutions - it even ignores the clock speed: It looks up the rest of the numbers from the vbios, using the x and y resolutions to find a matching mode. This doesn't prevent you from using other resolutions, but some of the lower resolutions have stupidly high refresh rates (aiui this doesn't matter because the chipset compensates for this), so if you adjust the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to have a _very_ wide range, you may be able to get at those modes.

[XFree86] r128 resolution question
I have a IBM Thinkpad A21p laptop with a Rage 128 Mobility card, and I have a vexing problem. The LCD screen is a 1600x1200 resolution, and I have not yet found any way to run the Xserver at any resolution less than this. This is a problem for me, as I use the external VGA out to drive an LCD projector, and they usually support nothing better than 1024x768. Consequently I have to maintain a dual boot Linux with Win98 so I can use Windoze solely for presentations. Am I missing something stupidly obvious, or is this a known limitation? I'm running X v4.3, RedHat 9, kernel 2.4.20. I've attached my XF86Config and a copy of the error log. Any light you could shed would be appreciated.
