Since that didn't work, I would first attempt to do what Eberhard Roloff
suggested, with emphasis on selecting a "Monitor" of generic type "Flat
Panel 1280x800" if your exact model is not listed in the available choices.

If that fails, then I would try another couple of tweaks to your original:

Instead of above, use:
        HorizSync    30.0 - 82.0
        VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0

and:

         Monitor         "Standardbildschirm"
         DefaultDepth    16
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           1

If that works, it can be refined to bring the depth back to 24 if you wish.
