If the driver can't get a good modeline, as a last resort you can copy the one Windows uses. There is some advanced display config app thing for Windows whose name I forget, that can display modelines.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Sorry, I wouldn't know. If the screen is picky, you can connect it to a box running normal Windows, no?

The screen does not seem to be picky - I have tried with a few screens many of which can display tiny core linux at 1280x1024 from my laptop.. (nvidia quadro graphics)

According to this:

Right click on the desktop and select Properties. Click on settings. That should give you the current resolution,
depth, and frequency.
