While I am by no means as good at linux configuration as some on this
list, I do have a laptop, Compaq R3000, running a 1280 x 800 display. I
too had to add the modeline but I also added a section called "modes" to
specify the 16:10 format. I noticed it was omitted from your xorg.conf
so I thought it might be worth a try for you. My laptop has an Nvidia
chipset so you can ignore anything related to it as it won't apply to
your setup.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
