	If your monitor+card combo is recent, then the Modelines are
	taken automatically by the card from your monitor (yes, the
	card asks your monitor what it can support).

	But you can still include your custom Modeline definitions in
	XF86Config-4 in the "Monitor" section of your file, like this:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	ModelName    "Monitor Model"
	HorizSync   28-70
	VertRefresh 50-120
	ModeLine "640x480" 41.93 640 672 832 896 480 482 494 520 #90Hz
	ModeLine "800x600" 64.51 800 888 1088 1176 600 602 614 640 #85Hz

#	ModeLine "1152x864" 106.91 1152 1236 1476 1600 864 866 878 904 #73Hz
EndSection

	BTW, I'm sooo happy now that I'm using X 4.0.1 with potato.
