Thanks,
but I've already read all relevant threads on that list and honestly: I
dont understand why modelines should cause any effect on an LCD?!
Weren't the modelines for CRT only? I thought they provide physical
information (number of real pixels, time for the beam to return to the
next line, etc.), but AFAIK LCDs refreashes all pixels at time?!

Best regards,
