Not really. 

Timelist has fixed timings and fixed dot clock (and thus
fixed resolutions).

Monosync has in horizontal directions fixed timings, but no fixed
dot clock. But it does have fixed clock (the hsync frequency) and
timing in the vertical direction.

Multisync has neither fixed timings nor fixed clock rates in 
either direction, but the ratios should somehow fit.
(Don't know if this is the right way to treat it, there is
a General Timing Formula from VESA, but they don't give it to
you unless you paid some fees.)
