That's the best I can do with PowerStrip. What I need is, of course:

Is this a hardware or a software limitation?

Until I looked at http://www.gameprogrammer.com/3-tweak.html
(which mentions a tweaking program that might be useful to you)

I thought that typical PC display hardware requires a bunch of
those numbers to be multiples of 8; however, that web page
mentions resolution 360x270 so I now don't know what the hw limit is.

for width it should be multiple of 8 (or with some hardware 16)
for height pretty-much any number will work.

BTW, I think "X Windows System modeline" would be a bit better
phrase than "Linux modeline", and that you should attach
an [OT] marker to the subject for rec.crafts.metalworking.

Actually "X Window System"

Bye.
