There's still one minor change that needs to be done in order to make it bullet-proof, but for the most part everything is working as expected. Reworking the Linux side has been surprinsingly painless, thanks to the superb job that Chris Kennedy did. Only very little stuff needed to be changed actually to rewire it to the new modeline engine. In comparison to Windows, the Linux way of custom video timing is incredibly straight forward.
I'm really happy with the overall results I'm getting with this new patch, specially how consistent it is: either with ddraw/d3d/sdl you always get the same results with the same settings. Of course, there are still some rough edges here and there, as well as the Powerstrip thing that is the biggest task pending.
One feature that's fully working now is automatic frequency scaling, as an alternative to resolution scaling. This allows you to obtain true low resolutions (i.e. hardware scanlines) for PC CRT monitors that support 120 Hz. I've been playing with this today and it works like a charm.
More updates coming soon.

Any news?
(I'm sorry, but the wait is killing me).

Hi Haggar,
Try this line:
monitor_specs0 15625-16200, 49.50-65.00, 2.420, 4.700, 7.260, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 288, 400
The remarked values are the ones that control horizontal borders/centering, you can play with them.

Hi Ansa89,
Sorry for the wait, I know I said it would be two weeks. I'm currently working on it. I'm thoroughly testing every aspect of the thing before releasing it. Some of these tests require a specific hardware setup that needs both time and finding a proper moment.
For instance, a couple of days ago I could finally try the combination of NVidia card (yes) + GroovyMAME + Winmodelines + Powerstrip + Windows XP, in order to achieve dynamic modelines, and after some efforts I got it working so good that it even looked an ATI card. Not for novice users I must say, but it opens some interesting new possibilities.
This Powerstrip full integration was the last important feature that was pending, now I only need to refine the LCD support (not that it doesn't work yet, it just needs to become more 'automatic' to set up).
Appart from that, I'd like to redo most of the monitor definitions.
Ansa89:
OMG! So good!
BTW, I was only interested in news, I don't want to force you to release an untested software/patch; hence keep it only for you and release the patch when you are completely satisfied of it (AKA bug-free).
Thanks for all what you are doing.

Thanks for the update!
