You have to copy the line into /etc/XF86Config ( as for XFree Version 3 ) or
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, in the 'Monitot'-Section, and add a 'Modeline' at the
Beginning. Could look like this, for example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
VendorName "Iiyama"
ModelName "S900MT1"
HorizSync 30-95
VertRefresh 50-160

Note the hint at the top of the file:
# If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf,
# only make changes before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above,
# and/or after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below.
I never tried to put the Modelines outside, so I need to have a Backup of the
Config-File from where I can restore them.
