that's not too good without modifying it and adapt it to the new
resolution.

That's the point. The Modeline specifies the pixel-points of the end of
screen, sync begin and end and so on. You have to recalculate the
Modelines in this way:
800x600
Modeline "800x600" 129 800 864 1056 1360
600 601 604 650 +HSync +VSync
I don't think, that this will work out of the Box, but you should
understand for what the Modelines actually were specified. However, I
cannot switch between different resolutions interactively, too, but I
tried kxconfig, a module for the kontrolcenter (I assume using KDE),
which gave me reasonable Modelines.
HTH,
