Re: .

This is working for me:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    HorizSync    30.0 - 93.5
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 85.0
    ModeLine     "1400x1050@85i" 83.5 1400 1432 1744 1776 1050 1072 1080 1103 interlace
    ModeLine     "1400x1050@85" 179.3 1400 1504 1656 1912 1050 1051 1054 1103 -hsync +vsync
    Option        "DPMS"
#modeline generated by http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "ScreenFglrx"
    Device        "ATI Graphics Adapter"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport       0 0
        Depth         24
        Modes        "1400x1050@85"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Unfortunately this stopped working with fglrx version 8.30.3, from that version on it seems you can't use modelines anymore.
More info here
I switched to the opensource R300 drivers to be able to keep using 1400*1050, so I don't know if ati fixed the issue in the latest driver, let me know if they have ;-)

I'll just say try it, It may already work again with the latest drivers. I didn't try the latest versions.
If your Xorg freezes with a black screen while starting, the problem is still there. But for the moment I see you already have modelines in your xorg.conf file, can you start xorg with that file? If so it seems modelines are working again.
