I wood change my Dell I8k with yours. I have a 1400x1050 Display if
that's what you want.
Just a joke.
I don't have any Modeline in my XF86Config-4. Try this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 30-100
VertRefresh 60
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection
You may need to replace the Sync and refresh values for your Display. I
think the DPMS module will generate the Modline automatically for the
resolution you specify. You also can try with different Color Depth values.
