Nathan,

I'm running 1280 x 800 on a laptop native screen of those dimensions,
using a "Generic LCD 1280x800" and the VESA driver.  Similarly,
system-config-display didn't show any non-4x3 aspect ratio video
modes.    I had to do four things:

1) Poke the video BIOS to set one of its modes to 1280 x 800
(amazingly, the video BIOS only knew about 4x3 modes).  You may not
need to do this.

2) Run system-config-display and select "Generic LCD 1280x800" and
"VESA" driver.   At this stage I still didn't see any non-4x3 modes,
so I picked 800x600 and wasn't too fussed.

3) Run the gtf utility to generate a modeline entry for my desired 1280x800.

4) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to i) put that modeline entry in the
Monitor section, and ii) put "1280x800" as the first mode in the
24-bit colour area of the DIsplay section, ie

Depth 24
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600".

Restart X, and all was well.
