[K12OSN] Can't specify modelines in 4.0.1

There are two links to modline generators in the wiki

http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Technical%3AModeline%20Calculators

I found the second link to be better. Plus, it gives you the hsync and vsync. 
But I also had a problem. What ever I tried I could not increase my refresh 
rate above 75hz vertical even though the video cards and monitors could 
definitely handle 85hz. So I settled with 75. 
I never had the parse error though. Try to mimick the format of the lines 
already there (in lts.conf) and hit enter after the new modline. Make sure 
all other ones are #'ed out.
