For some reason it doesn't work in the xinit dir, but
if I put the script in the "Startup Apps" in gnome,
it does set the resolution I want when I login.

Having had a very similar problem (I actually wanted a resolution that
would still let me see the top nav bar in gnome), I took these notes
for myself. I think they are pretty adaptable but it was super
complicated to find.
So, first, you need to get the modeline with something like:
cvt 1600 850 60
then get your display name by running
xrandr
then in, /etc/gdm/Init/Default
xrandr --newmode "<name of mode>" <modeline from above>
xrandr --addmode <display name> <name of mode>
xrandr --output <display name> --mode <name of mode>
an example of the above
xrandr --newmode "1600x800_60.00" 104.25 1600 1688 1848 2096 800
803 813 831 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode qxl-0 1600x800_60.00
xrandr --output qxl-0 --mode 1600x80_60.00
