Unfortunately, the file doesn't seem to be named that on my slink
system. I found it in /usr/doc/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO.gz
(or you could look at the html equivalent). I think there is actually
a related documentation bug in xserver-common in that
/usr/doc/xserver-common/README.Config.gz refers to VideoModes.doc by
Eric Raymond without stating how to find it in debian systems.
Hope that's useful.
