Are you sure you shouldn't use the same tags in Monitor/Modeline and Screen/Modes? Also there seem to be spaces in the latter.

It took me a lot of googling to find modelines for my monitor, and it seems that the display wizard died along with gnome when applying whatever it had saved and did not fit my config.

Wiping the (iirc the path) .config/monitors.xml in my account and ~gdm account (iirc /var/lib/gdm) helped against this, thanks to google.

Does your X11 die instantly, or after a GNOME session login? Can you run the emergency xterm session?
