Try giving it only one choice like this:

Section "Screen"
     Identifier     "Default Screen"
     Device         "NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
     Monitor        "W2600 LCD TV"
     DefaultDepth    24
     SubSection     "Display"
         Depth       24
         Modes      "1280x768"
     EndSubSection
 EndSection
