  are you using proper frequencies? X tries to set freq as high as 
possible for given resolution, I didn't read the beginning of the thread 
but it seems like you want it to use 60 instead of 75? if so make sure 
HorizSync has 60 as upper bound.

  if you set the frequencies right it should work without edid (and 
without modelines). it's possible you will need modeline though, I don't 
know the details of your situation...
