[ale] XF86Config Screens section & Virtual dimensions

[jkinney at localnetsolutions.com (James P. Kinney III)]

Back in the old days (.98 kernel), I used a tool that ran in sc, the
commandline spreadsheet, that calculated modelines based on timing data
for the monitor. I can't find it anymore.

http://www.wlug.org.nz/HowToXFree86VideoTimingsHOWTO

has a good deal of instruction on how to calculate the specifics
manually.
