Re: modeline -> sony A220

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  1) upgrade to X 4.x, you don't need modelines anymore (in most cases)

  2) there are some modeline calculators, use them (search freshmeat
etc.)

  3) search the web for modelines, I think I've found mine that way...

  hope this helps a bit...
