Anespor's suggestion works well. Add the following two lines to the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf:

 DisplaySize <WIDTH in mm> <HEIGHT in mm>
 Option "Monitor-LVDS" "<Monitor Identifier>"
 # Replace the <...> with your own values

Here is the full "Monitor" section from my updated xorg.conf for your reference...

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "DCLCD"
        Option "DPMS" "true"
        HorizSync 64.7-65.29
        VertRefresh 59.883-59.954
        DisplaySize 433 271
        Option "Monitor-LVDS" "DCLCD"
