All--

I was shopping for a video board to run XFree86 on, but didn't have a list
of what boards worked w/ it (I hesitate to say "supported").  Anyway, I
made a list out of modeDB.txt and an emacs macro.  Here it is, hope it's
useful.

An 'i' at the end (e.g 1024x768i means "interlaced").

I take no responsibility for the completeness of this, no endorsement or
lack of endorsement is intended by inclusion or omission, I don't speak for
the authors of xFree86 or any derivative works, no ozone-depleting CFCs
were used in the preparation of this, your mileage may vary, etc.
