If everything else seems ok, then check the amount of videoram extracted
from your Xserver logs. Bios on  Dell machines are notorious for giving
only 1mb which is a bit tight for resolutions higher than 640x480. A
Xserver patch is available to steal mem from the bios. I seem to have lost
the link. If you have this bios problem, look up the archives, i had posted
the link on some intel 830 or 845 thread
