Err, dude... where's your car? ?:) The reason I ask is due to the fact that you have no Modes/Timings lines in you Monitor section. This is more than enough to cause flicker or a blank screen. Possible (ab)solution: rerun xf86config and make a copy of the all the modes /timings lines there are, then copy to your Monitor section as you gave below.
