Such a compilation already exists.  The database is maintained by
David Wexelblat <dwex@mtgzfs3.att.com>, and can be found on
export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/modeDB.txt.Z.  It is also included in
the XFree86 distribution (/usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/modeDB.txt).  The file
is currently about 45K -- so is a bit large to post here.

Anyone with contributions to this database should send them to David.
