What is the error message ?

Are you sure you need a modeline ?

My Monitor section for a simular monitor is:

Section "Monitor"
        #DisplaySize      410   310     # mm
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "AMT"
        ModelName    "PL201M"
        Option      "DPMS"
EndSection

If you absolutely need a modeline try
 "1600x1200" 162.00 1600 1624 1976 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +HSync +VSync

This should be 75KHz/60Hz.


Good luck
