xorg.conf(5):
       Option "PreferredMode"  "string"
              This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked as the preferred ini‐
              tial mode of the monitor.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

However the real preferred thing to do is write up a quirk for the
server to fix your EDID so that other people get the benefit of your
bugfixes.
