[Intel-gfx] How can I set non-60Hz-Modes?

I used to do that with the nvidia tool on nv, but now I'm a little stuck:
No matter what I do X comes up at 60 Hz. I need to do 50 tho so the attached 
plasma tv doubles it to 100 (at 60 it flickers, plus pulldown problems)

EDID reports a refresh range of 58-62 Hertz which I overrode in xorg.conf.  
When I feed it a custom mode with xrandr --newmode / --addmode it does 50hz 
alright, but I can't make it permanent from xorg.conf.

I tried the Preferred Mode option and "ModeValidation" tho I am not sure the 
latter is nvidia specific.

X log can be found at:

xorg.conf below.

Can someone have a look and advise, please?
