In the monitor section, like:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "LCD display"
        Option          "DPMS"
        Modeline "1280x800" 82.00 1280 1320 1376 1640 800 802 805 842  # 82 MHz, 50.0 kHz, 59.4 Hz
EndSection

My laptop is an Asus, hence you will probably need to adjust the timings 
for your probably different hardware.

Bye
