Well tested mode lines fail with 1.3.1



Can anyone verify that well tested mode lines, used with older X servers,
fail with the latest X servers in 1.3.1?  Sorry for making this so long,
but I didn't want to leave anything out.

Here's the info:
--- dpkg --list xserver-s3:
||/ Name            Version        Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii  xserver-s3      3.3-3          X server for S3-based graphics cards

--- Error message:

(--) S3: Ramdac speed: 135 MHz

Fatal server error:

I remade the file using xf86config and haven't had any problems (well,
there is quite a list of invalid modes).  Is this just a case of my file
being outdated?  Should I report it as a bug?

Thanks,
Brandon

P.S. The new config is quite long, but if anyone wants to take a look, I
can send a copy over private e-mail.
