I just saw this on the fedora-devel mailing list and thought this would
be a nice place to post it as well.
The question asked in fedora-devel was "Where do I find a ModeLine for
1400x900? Should I register it as a bug?"
One of the replies included a reference to "man gtf" (but not much else
really).
So, without further ado:

NAME
gtf - calculate VESA GTF mode lines
SYNOPSIS
gtf h-resolution v-resolution refresh
[-v|--verbose] [-f|--fbmode] [-x|--xorgmode]
DESCRIPTION
Gtf is a utility for calculating VESA GTF
modes. Given the desired horizontal and verti-
cal resolutions and refresh rate (in Hz), the
parameters for a matching VESA GTF mode are
printed out. Two output formats are supported:
mode lines suitable for the Xorg xorg.conf(5x)
file, and mode parameters suitable for the
Linux fbset(8) utility.
OPTIONS
-v|--verbose
Enable verbose printouts This shows a
trace for each step of the computation.
-x|--xorgmode
Print the mode parameters as Xorg-style
mode lines. This is the default for-
mat.
-f|--fbset
Print the mode parameters in a format
suitable for fbset(8).
