I use xvidtune for generating modelines. It's gui'd, though there may be 
CLI versions--dunno. You just adjust settings (left right, up down, 
narrower wider) til it looks ok, then tell it to generate the modeline. I 
think you do this by clicking "show." If you've run it from a terminal, 
the modeline will show up in the terminal (stdout) and can be copied and 
pasted into XF86Config. It's certainly available for all versions of 
Slackware, though I'm not sure if it's a discrete package or part of some 
larger package.
