Not a solution for this particular app, as it is statically linked.  Actually 
this fact keeps it functional on a modern system after so many years.

While I can solve the particular problem for myself (hack the sources), my point
is that X.Org needs a generic tool to filter out modes reported by hardware, cause
some of them can be completely faulty (my case) or just undesired by a user.
