I can’t remember how long it was until xf86config made things slightly easier, yeah, getting modelines at first was basically impossible, I think it was trial and error for hours at least.
Didn’t do winmodems, that would be a nightmare.

I don’t think it became easier at all until it was forked off into Xorg and they started making dramatic improvements.
It certainly was until I discovered the monitor I hadn’t fried had the modelines printed on a sticker on the back…
You are so damn lucky. I just took the safe ones, and pushed them until it looked good but the monitor’s whine wasn’t too scary.
Fucking dark ages…
Xorg was a massive improvement, still bad, but less insane.
