On my I 8500 I simply selected LCD at installation then later
went in an changed the config file as follows ::

Section "Monitor"
  Option       "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry"
  HorizSync    30-95
  Identifier   "Monitor[0]"
  ModelName    "1920X1200@60HZ"
  Option       "DPMS"
  VendorName   "--> LCD"
  VertRefresh  40-62
  UseModes     "Modes[0]"
EndSection

and also ::

  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      16
    Modes      "1920x1200" 
  EndSubSection


and all works fine - hope this helps

Regards
