Thanks. This is the expected behaviour, if it cannot detect the monitor it will use pretty conservative settings for sync ranges and you end up with 800x600.

Can you please start out with the default xorg.conf and only add the sync ranges? This should give a higher resolution. And maybe some of the other stuff you had in your xorg.conf earlier broke mga, so that failsafeX was started?

This will reset your xorg.conf to the default one:
 sudo dexconf -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf
