Add the following lines to the Monitor section :
HorizSync "30-83"
VertRefresh "56-76"

Then in the Screen section, set the modes you want in the SubSections by
adding the following line :
Modes    "1920x1080"

I find it strange though that the F12 live CD comes up fine but not a
regular F12 install. It should be mostly the same driver (I'll have to
check what changed between the 2 but it's likely not that significant).
The live cd doesn't use an xorg.conf at all, you might want to try
without an xorg conf.
