I see. I was unclear as to exactly what you wanted here. So far as I know, the intel driver ignores the Modes lines and goes with what it detects unless you tell it otherwise. There is an option you can set that tells it to follow the MOdes, though I can't for the life of me find it at the moment (sorry).
