  Has this code been updated in X 4.2?  I know that in X 4.1, the
XF86VidMode calls to do this didn't work at all (making a modeline on
the fly, adding it, and switching to it):  the code was just unfinished.
I wrote a patch to fix this but it was buggy and incomplete, so I
haven't sent it yet.  If nobody has fixed it, it may be why it's not
working for you.
