I've tried that modeline (that's what gtf generates, I think), but no
luck with it. When I try that, the screen blanks, backlight turns off
and in a couple of seconds the power button goes orange (power saving
mode).

I had a play with this, and what I've found out is that the recommended
timings (from DDC from the monitor) have a VERY small horizontal and
vertical sync times (which was probably obvious to anyone well versed in
reading mode lines :-). I wonder if my video card cant handle such small
sync times?

Thanks. Still trying.
