Ok, that won't work for two reasons: (1) you misspelled "LVGA", it
should be "VGA-0", and (2) the X server failed to detect your monitor
resolutions properly.

The latter is the real problem. Start by posting the output of

  lspci | grep VGA

so that we know which graphics hardware you have. Then, tell us if you
are using any KVM-like equipment between the monitor and the computer.
If you do, disconnect it and connect the monitor directly to the
graphics card. Next, post the output of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if there is
one), and possibly the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ . Finally, send
us the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (it can be big, maybe put it in
pastebin and send us the link).

The /var/log/Xorg.0.log is the most important piece, it can be very
helpful if you know where to look. :-)

After we examine the logs, and find the real reason why your monitor's
resolutions aren't properly detected, then we can discuss how to fix
the issue best and what (if anything) to put into xorg.conf, etc.

Troubleshooting X issues always starts with the hardware, the graphics
drivers and the log files.

HTH, :-)
