xrandr settings in xorg.conf file - how?

First: the "Enable" option doesn't work for me. 
I have a Dell D430 with Intel graphics and I'm trying to turn off the DVI1 
output by default, but not to ignore it at all. Therefore I've added such 
section in my xorg.conf file:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DVI1"
        VendorName      "External monitor"
        DisplaySize     260 162
        Option          "DPMS"          "yes"
        Option          "Enable"        "false"
        Option          "PreferredMode" "1024x768"
        Option          "Position"      "0 0"
EndSection

In the Xorg log file I'm getting this (I've removes some lines which seem to 
be not necessary here):

(II) intel(0): Output DVI1 using monitor section DVI1
(**) intel(0): Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768"
(**) intel(0): Option "Position" "0 0"
(**) intel(0): Option "Enable" "false"
(II) intel(0): Output DVI1 connected
(II) intel(0): Output DVI1 using initial mode 1024x768

So, the driver recognizez the Enable option, but it still enables the output 
and uses it. But that's not what I want. I don't want to use the "Ignore" 
option, for this disables this output at all.



Second: is it possible to somehow include the --scale option in the 
xorg.conf file? I would like to obtain someting similar to this command:

xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1024x768 --pos 0x0 --scale 1.25x1.04

I know, how to position the screen, but what about scaling?
