        You need to calculate the Generalized Timing Formula you say? Then you 
need:

gtf

Usage:

        gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh

Example:

        gtf 1680 1050 60

  # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz
  Modeline "1680x1050_60.00"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087
 -HSync +Vsync

        You can plug that modeline into you xorg.conf

        However, for your squashed earth problem. Open your xorg.conf and make 
sure
the "Driver" line does *not* say 'vesafb', if it does, then change it to 'nv'
and restart kde. I wrote a bug on this during 11.1 beta testing but maybe the
fix doesn't work with your hardware.
