Does anyone know the proper modeline definition for a video driver with 
Chip and Technology's 65545 chip?

I have been trying to set up X-Windows on a NEC notebook with this video 
chip.  Have tried all the combinations suggested by the files in 
   /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

with no success.  The only spec I have for this notebook is:
   DotClock = 28.32MHz
   Horizontal Refresh = 60Hz
   800x600 resolution with 256 color

It was my fault not making a backup.  I've had the X server running for a 
few weeks with a correct modeline (forgot how I came up with those 
number, trial and error, maybe, a good few days of tinkering).  And then 
I did something stupid, and had to reinstall freeBSD.  Needless to say, I 
conveniently forgot to save the XF86Config file.  And now, I can't get it 
right again.


Heeellllpppp, I am coughing blood here.
