I don't have that type display to test, but I would change two lines:

>         VertRefresh  60.0 - 90.0
to
VertRefresh  59.0 - 61.0

>                 Modes           "1280x960" "1280x854" "1280x800" "1280x768"
> "1200x800" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
to
Modes "1280x800" "1280x768" "1200x800" "1152x768" "1024x768"
or
Modes "1280x800"
