Something to try:

Remove all modelines from your custom monitor file, and add the following:

	Option	"DefaultModes"	"on"

Except for experimentational purposes, I never have any modelines in any X 
config file, while for every monitor config file I actually use routinely, I 
include the above line. X is smart enough to work without any explicit 
modelines in the vast majority of cases, with or without valid EDID, as long 
as required other config data you want it to use is either built-in or 
supplied via EDID or config file.
