Trouble enabling view modes for content types

Question

I have a custom view mode and need to enable it for a node type. I need to enable it through my module, and it seemed like hook_entity_info_alter() is the way to go, but it's not working. Am I missing something?

My code:

function mymod_entity_info_alter(&$entity_info) {
    $entity_info['node']['view modes']['vm_mid_box'] = array(
        'custom settings' => TRUE,
        'label' => 'Mid Box'
    );
}

EDIT: I create the displays in Display Suite, and am using the export data dumped into DS hooks.

Late answer, but for anyone else looking, to get your view mode to display try either visiting the module page or disabling then re-enabling your module. Afterwards clear the cache.
