Take a look in your X server's log file -- either
/var/log/XFree86.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It should show
the EDID data the monitor reports. That includes all the
resolutions it supports.
For example, my monitor reports:
(II) RADEON(0): Supported VESA Video Modes:
(II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(II) RADEON(0): Supported Future Video Modes:
(II) RADEON(0): #0: hsize: 640 vsize 480 refresh: 60 vid: 16433
(II) RADEON(0): #1: hsize: 800 vsize 600 refresh: 60 vid: 16453

(II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1024 v_sync: 1027 v_sync_end 1030 v_blanking:
1056 v_border: 0
(II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) RADEON(0): clock: 108.0 MHz Image Size: 370 x 237 mm
(II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1376 h_sync_end 1488 h_blank_end

(II) RADEON(0): v_active: 960 v_sync: 961 v_sync_end 964 v_blanking: 1000
v_border: 0
I'd be interested in seeing that info for the Dell.

That's a little surprising. I wonder what's filling that space.
