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:

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being outdated?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.
