Change your Monitor and Device sections as follows (the 2 Monitor
sections are needed!):

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x800"
        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
        VertRefresh  59.9 - 60.1
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor1"
        Option      "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "monitor-VGA" "Monitor0"
        Option      "monitor-TV" "Monitor1"
        Option      "DRI" "false"
EndSection

The "DRI" setting is needed as otherwise some apps (like Google Earth)
make X go crazy, but if you only do simple things, you may eanable it.
