I did it for my card and monitor, but you need to be very carefuland it is
not easy. You can do any weired things (like 100x675 modeline ;), but you
need to know the explicit datas from your monitor and your card.
Here is the doc:
/usr/doc/svgatextmode/monitor-timings.howto.gz
(for text mode, but useful)
/usr/lib/X11/doc/VideoModes.doc
(this is the one to study).
You will need perhaps three hours to read, understand and follow the text.
Bye,
Marcus
