We've been shipping with these additions to our extramodes in
Xorg on Solaris to support Sun monitors not covered by the existing
modelines:

# 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (Sun) hsync: 66.975kHz
Modeline "1920x1080" 137.7 1920 1928 1992 2056 1080 1082 1086 1112 +hsync +vsync

# 1920x1200 @ 60Hz (Sun 24.1" LCD) hsync: 73.54 kHz
ModeLine "1920x1200" 151.200 1920 1928 1992 2056 1200 1202 1206 1234 +HSync +VSync

# 1920x1200 @ 70.316Hz (Sun 24" CRT) hsync: 87.192 kHz
ModeLine "1920x1200" 219.375 1920 1944 2172 2516 1200 1201 1204 1240 -HSync -VSync

I haven't put these into the upstream CVS mainly because I haven't gotten
around to asking anyone else if these modelines are a good idea for general
distribution or not.   (I don't think they're entirely Sun specific - for
instance, our 24.1" LCD is based on the same screen from Samsung as Dell's,
so I would think the same modelines apply to both, but I haven't tested.)
