- Try looking in /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/modeDB.txt. That's the current database
- as of the release of X that you're running. A new version will be issued
- with XFree86 1.2 in a couple of weeks. There are fewer than a dozen new
- entries in it since 1.1 was released in October. If people don't send
- me entries, they don't go into the database.
