[OT] XWindows modelines from Windoze video modes



My monitor stores its screen geometry adjustments in non-volatile
memory. It analyses the incoming video signal in order to select the
correct set of geometry settings for the video mode it's getting.

Unfortunately, it has a very small NVRAM and can only store settings
for 4 modes. X uses somewhat different timings for the same nominal
screen res / refresh rate as I use in Windoze, so the monitor thinks
it's a different mode. The result is that when I set up the geometry
correctly for X, I lose my Windoze settings, and vice versa.

This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone (?who has had the same
problem?) have a util that can extract the video card settings that
Windoze is using, so I can generate a ModeLine for my XF86Config?

Thanks!
