I looked up your monitor, and its native resolution is 1280 x 1024. So, you
need another section as mentioned in option 1 as Kam Leo specifies, but you
also need another resolution level in that new section. Here's that section:
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
