A little more targeted googling about modelines in the xorg conf file
brought me to the following page...
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:BlueCamel
With a very specific modeline that appears to work with no problems!
Folks wanting to create their own specific modelines should look at
the following page:
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
Or check out the program "videogen", either of which I would have used
had I not found something specific that works.
