No, of course not. There are certain advantages: 1. Without boot options, your display will automatically go to 1024x768@85 Hz, since this is the preferred timing. 2. The driver will refuse modes that exceeds the monitor's operating. 3. Because your display is GTF capable, all you need to do is: fbset -xres 1600 -yres 1200 /* xres and yres can be any value */ and as long as #2 is satisfied, the modeline for 1600x1200 at the highest refresh rate will be computed, no need to enter a modline in /etc/fb.modes.
