If you have a flat panel it will not mess up your monitor because they have safeguards against that and also modelines don't go in the monitor or screens section...they go in the modes section...did u try what i mentioned in my last post.
I did not know what to do with your last post, as the modelines were not acceptable.
The actual rates the monitor is showing now are 54.2KHz and 60.2Hz, which are well within specs.
I chose the section from memory. In the pre-Xorg-pre-XFree days I seem to recall using different modelines at different depths.
Modes section all by itself, not a subsection? I'll try that.

Get your own modes...using gtf and slip them into the modes section like so:Section "Modes"
Identifier "16:10"
<you modeline here>EndSectionBut remember, you can leave out or specify the identifier ratios depending on whether it will work for you or not.
