Meanwhile I have found a clue and a workaround: Using the intel driver,
xrandr outputs the following:

I do not know where the LVDS comes from. This machine is a MSI Axis
950, which definitely does not have an internal screen. However, this
LVDS is picked up by X as default and limits the screen resolution.
I managed to turn it off and set the external TMDS-1 to 1600x1200:

Now everything looks like it should on my monitor. I still don't
understand where the connected LVDS comes from, though. Moreover, I
would like to have a possibility to do this xrandr settings
automatically when starting X. Any hints?
