Please DON'T offer authoritative advise if you don't know what you're talking
about.
There is no correlation whatsoever between the number of clocks line (which is
in units of MHz) and the horizontal sync frequency (which is in units of kHz).
The Clocks line must contain the available dot-clock frequencies from the
board.
The horizontal sync rate is determined by the dot-clock divided by the number
of pixel times (displayed + sync) in a single scan line. For a fixed-frequency
monitor this ratio must be exact.
Read the VideoModes.doc file to find out how to calculate a mode.
