Hello, and sorry for the late reply.

I've done as suggested and used xvidtune. I remembered it not long 
after I posted, and it's got my ModeLines all up and running the way I 
like them.  I'm still wondering what happened to break xorgcfg, and 
what else might have broken as xorgcfg worked fine on another system 
that had Xorg-from-scratch rather than Xorg-from-XFree86, but all seems 
okay for now.

Thanks for your help,

Adrian.
