gnome 2.16 - gdm ignores modelines or mode in xorg.conf

Hi all

Got the following in xorg.conf

Section Monitor:
Modeline "1280x1024" 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066
+hsync +vsync

Section Screen:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"

Login screen is flickering at max resolution of my radeon 7500 @60hz

Setup resolution from within gnome and now it changes resolution
correctly after login. I want the default resolution at login
screen also.

This is for gnome 2.16 compiled from source.

Any help deeply appreciated.

Please cc me as I am not subscribed.
