First of all, the modeline definitions need to go
under the "Monitor" section in xorg.conf.  I'm sure
that this was just a typo on your part.

Secondly, before the modeline definitions themselves
(the "1280x720" and "1920x1080"), you need the word
"Modeline".

An example from my xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monivision"
        ModelName    "DM-6552SW"
        DisplaySize  325        182
        HorizSync    31.4 - 46.0
        VertRefresh  58.0 - 62.0
        ModeLine     "1280x720p" 74.6 1280 1352 1488
1664 720 721 724 746 -hsync +vsync
        ModeLine     "848x480p" 33.3 848 888 976 1072
480 491 494 518 -hsync -vsync
        ModeLine     "960x540p" 42.2 960 1056 1104
1248 540 547 548 563 +hsync +vsync
#       Option      "dpms"
        # 720p (Native resolution)
EndSection
