Pardon me for bouncing in my seat.
Having found out that the problem was with my monitor and the high vertical frequency of 1920x1200 modes in general, I went digging through the intarwebs for info and found "reduced blanking" modes. I ended up here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60669 and got some interesting numbers... Too late last night to try it out, I fed the numbers into my magic awk script this morning, and with a little tweaking to appease vfc, I got a reduced blanking mode for 1920x1200 that works prefectly over VGA.
For anyone still struggling, here it is.
NB: I haven't asked schleusel, but I'm sure he won't mind that I stole his code (and math
