Going into System > Preferences > Display and unchecking the 'cloned' checkbox it asks me if I want to add a virtual screen resolution as required by this option. It then asked me for my password and to log out. When I log out and back in the screen resolution settings do not allow the monitor to go above 800x600, even though the monitor's top resolution is 1280x1024. To solve this problem I edited the xorg.conf file and changed the virtual resolution setting from 800 1080 to 2048 2048. After logging out, this allowed me to select the correct resolution for the Dell monitor.
