I don't know. I cannot run my display at 1600x1200 at a flicker free
refresh because X probes the dot clock at 170 MHz when in fact my card
has a 220 MHz dot clock. (S3 968 on a Number 9 Motion 771.) With the
older server (3.6.0) I could do this by specifying "DacSpeed 220" in the
Devices section of the XF86Config and providing appropriate mode lines.
That does not work for 4.3.0. Instead the newer server reports that the
mode line conflicts with the dot clock. (Not the exact wording of the
message in the log, but I think that's what it means.)

Sorry I could not provide more help.
