Including modelines in xorg.conf is particularly useless 99.99997% of the time. Manual modeline generators gtf, cvt and various web sites don't do anything that Xorg doesn't automatically and competently do itself as long as it gets HorizSync and VertRefresh specifications either from xorg.conf*, xrandr or EDID.
I suggest you try the xorg.conf* method file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf after modifying its specified modes to match your displays, and DisplaySize to match your taste (or delete the whole line to use 96 DPI).
on the computer I try it lastly (Leap), running Xconfig to gt a fresh xorg.conf file didn't work (error message). No idea if it's a local problem or more general, as now the config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, a la sysinit
The purpose and meaning of your reply completely escapes my understanding. Is it supposed to be of help somehow to the OP? If "running Xconfig" translates to 'X -configure', that's been all but useless for generating what's actually needed for competent video configuration for many years, at least as far back as 11.4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
