What does:
# gtf 1280 800 60

show you (without 915resolution)?  I'm fairly certain your system natively
supports 1280 x 800.  I wish more people would just try to use the
resolutions that really exist instead of trying ugly hacks like
855resolution and 915resolution.

If gtf gives you a modeline, stick that in your xorg.conf, point your modes
to it and you're done:

Section "Monitor"
...
 # 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz
 Modeline "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync
...

Section "Screen"
...
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x800" "1024x768"
