I've got a GeForce2 mx nvidia card and a very new monitor, and I am able to type almost any 'normal' resolution into the "Screen/Display" subsection and X will display it (i.e. 1280x1024, 1600x1200, 2000x1800). No modelines needed. I'm pretty sure I'm not ignoring EDID. I also often find X amazing...
