Yes, I noticed this as well.

Only thing on modelines that needs to be updated is clocks(31.5, 50, 65) to
match the ones that comes up when X is started. For some reason that I don't
know new Xservers come up with different "Clocks:" then old Xservers. Also,
XF86Config's clocks line should be updated with new readings.

  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  being outdated?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?

I don't think it is a bug since some modelines will work with some system and
others will not.  As to "invalid modes," just edit the XF86Config by commenting
out Modelines that don't work.:)

        Cheers,
        David
