You need modes that work for your card. Without any infrmation what
you did and what errors come up I cannot say whats wrong so you have
to elaborate a bit.
You should use XF86Setup (its its own package) to configure X and you
should look at the ouput given by startx when it doesn´t work.
If you see something about modes getting deleted you have the cause
why you have no modes. Probably you set the timings to high or to low.
May the Source be with you.
