[ale] Sun 24" monitor mode lines

[Mike Still]

I tried putting that refresh info in there and setting the resolution to
"1600x1000" in my config file, but it didn't know what to do with
"1600x1000" like it would automatically know what to do with say
"1280x1024" (which is what I'm using now - just stretching it out).
I'll try again and post the error.

Oh yeah forgot to add, I'm using the nvidia accelerated server.

Thanks for the help.
