fbmodes
fbmodes is a package of utilities for generating display modes. First, you input the desired display resolution and vertical refresh rate, and the program calculates all the obscure numbers and produces X11 modelines, fbset mode descriptions, and SVGATextMode mode entries. After previewing the mode a few times and fine-tuning the values, you soon have the mode you desire.
