In the Screen section, add:
        Option "Monitor-VGA" "my vga monitor"
Then add a new section like this:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "my vga monitor"
        Option  "PreferredMode" "1600x1200"
EndSection

This is from memory, so I might have misremembered something; see
xorg.conf(5) for the details.
