You mean you don't want to go back to using XF86Setup as well as
building your own modelines ? :-)

As someone who went through that era with Linux, you certainly had to know
a lot more about the internals of your machines in those days.

BTW, I think you mean RH 6, not RHEL 6. RH version numbers went up to
RH9 before they were reset for the RHEL series (which followed RH9).
