It isn't that the monitor isn't detected - it can't tell what video card you're using. In fact it *is* loading vesa, which will do 800x600 on unknown monitors just fine. So the work around you're suggesting is irrelevant. The real problem here is this:

(EE) VESA(0): Driver can't support depth 24
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Unfortunately you did not include enough information for me to see what precisely went wrong. It's not clear to me what video card you have installed. I'd need to see 'lspci -vvnn' output to be sure.
