Just in case you're interested, I got my modeline from John P. Poet 
(he's using an HL-R6168W with first an MX-440 and then a GF5200) and it 
works great on my HL-R6768W (with a MX-440).  He got his from "Spear" 
(don't remember his full name) and modified it (with the help of a 
modeline calculator at 
http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html ) to improve 
the picture.  I tried to show the versions and the changes below:

# From Spear
# ModeLine "1920x1080"   137.56  1920 1960 2016 2064 1080 1082 1088 1111 
-VSync
# From EDID
# Modeline "1920x1080"   138.5   1920 1968 2000 2080   1080 1083 1088 
1111 +hsync -vsync
# Remove "Noise"
# Modeline "1920x1080"  138.50  1920 1968 2004 2096  1080 1083 1088 1103 
+hsync -vsync
# Move left
# Modeline "1920x1080"  138.50  1920 1976 2012 2096  1080 1083 1088 1103 
+hsync -vsync
# Move down
Modeline "1920x1080"   140.09  1920 1980 2016 2096   1080 1082 1087 
1115  +HSync -VSync

The uncommented one is the one I'm using.

And, I'm using "HorizSync    30-67" and "VertRefresh  56-75" based on 
values from my "Owner's Instructions" (which is the same guide for 
HL-R5668W, HL-R6168W, and HL-R6768W).

Oh, and you should probably add:

# For 1920x1080 at 100dpi  (16:9)
        DisplaySize  487 274

for use with Myth.
