Maybe things are done differently with X.org (SuSE 9.1 is still XFree86) but in my configuration file I see bits like this

Perhaps the mechanism that X.org uses to define monitor timings is different, in which case I can offer no help :o(
Just booted up SuSE 9.2 Live eval in a Virtual Machine. That is running X.org yet still has the modelines I am referring to. Funnily enough xorg.conf is just a symlink to XF86Config which seems like the wrong way of doing things if you are going to do a dirty hack like symlinking X.org to look like XFree86.
OK, I'll check tonight if I have a "Modes" section.
In the slackware UPGRADE.TXT for 9.1 to 10 (which goes from Xfree to Xorg) it says to copy XF86Config to xorg.conf and then maybe check a couple of lines.
