There is, in fact, a spec for LCD modelines.  It's called CVT, and at least 
nvidia's driver implements it directly.  However VESA are big meanies and 
make you pay to see the formula.

While it would be nice if we'd properly use the suggested timings from DDC, we 
should also attempt to add some standard CVT timings to the builtin mode 
list.  CVT support in the gtf(1) utility would also be lovely.
