Doh.  I researched Dell's site and noticed that two variants of the
same model are sold: one has WXGA+ resolution (1440x900) and the other
only has WXGA resolution (1280x800).  I monkeyed around with
915resolution and my xorg.conf and was able to get it running in
1280x800 resolution.  My employers are thrifty and it doesn't surprise
me that they bought the cheaper version.

If anybody needs working configs for this laptop, they can be found here:

Note, you'll need to run the latest 3.9 snapshot if you want X.org and
your 3945G-based wifi to work.

There are still some issues with this laptop.  Noteably, shutdown(8)
does not reboot nor power-off the machine properly.  It hangs with the
power on.  I'll post more about this later.
