I guess there's missing a reference here to the monitor section. It's just not
being used.

[   287.673] (II) MGA(0): <default monitor>: Using default hsync range of
31.50-37.90 kHz
[   287.673] (II) MGA(0): <default monitor>: Using default vrefresh range of
50.00-70.00 Hz

So the monitor section isn't used at all, but xorg.conf is being read.

[   286.232] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

This time you have a reference from the Screen to the Monitor section.

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option       "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on"
  Option       "ZapWarning" "off"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  HorizSync    30-107
  Identifier   "Monitor[0]"
  ModelName    "P991"
  Option       "DPMS"
  VendorName   "DELL"
  VertRefresh  56-60.01
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  DefaultDepth 24
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      24
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768"
  EndSubSection
  Identifier   "Screen[0]"
  Monitor      "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
