I finally upgraded to R6 last night which went very smoothly however I had a heck of a time getting X to use my custom mode line that I had been using in R5.5. I knew my xorg.conf file from R5.5 wouldn't work in R6 so I let the upgrade generate a new one and worked from it.

It appears that the key line to get X to accept my mode line was adding this to the "Device" section:
Code:
Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNon60HzDFPModes, NoMaxPClkCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck, NoMaxSizeCheck, NoHorizSyncCheck, NoVertRefreshCheck, NoWidthAlignmentCheck, NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck, NoVirtualSizeCheck"

I also uncommented:
Code:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"

and added:
Code:
Option "UseEvents" "true"
Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true"

In the "Device" section.
============================

In my "Screen" section I added the following:
Code:
Option      "DPMS"  "true"
Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
Option  "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"

In addition to my custom Mode Line which is:
Code:
# 1368x768 @ 60.00 Hz
ModeLine "1368x768" 85.9 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795 -Hsync +Vsync

============================

To select my custom Mode Line I needed to add:
Code:
Modes "1368x768"

Below:
Code:
Depth       24

In the "Screen" section.

I hope this will help others get their custom mode lines working in R6.
