  I had a problem getting X-4 working with the modelines from X-3
until I changed them to the new format (man XF86Config).  Below are
the relevant section that worked, after reading the man page.

-- XF86Config-4---
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Sylvania"
        ModelName    "F77"
    DisplaySize 315 241
    HorizSync 30-70
    VertRefresh 50-160

    Mode "640x480"
        DotClock 45.88
        HTimings 640  688  784  852
        VTimings 480  488  494  530
        Flags "-HSync" "-VSync"
    EndMode

    Mode "800x600"
        DotClock 69.65
        HTimings 800  864  928 1104
        VTimings 600  604  610  640
        Flags "-HSync" "-VSync"
    Endmode

    Mode "1024x768"
        DotClock 85.00
        HTimings 1024 1080 1200 1368
        VTimings 768  776  779  823
    EndMode

    Mode "1280x1024"
        DotClock 108.00
        HTimings 1280 1336 1448 1688
        VTimings 1024 1025 1028 1066
    Endmode
EndSection

:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
