You may not need the monitor section. If anything like DDC (I think
that's what it's acronym is - Display Data Control?) is in operation, it
will piuck up the proper rates automatically. I don't have a monitor
section at all in my xorg.conf. But I'm running a normal "desktop" node
with conventional monitor.
Regardless, even if needed, try what I show below.

My "Screen" section looks like this. Watch out for the line wrap on
"Modes".
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1152x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
