I have the same issue on Dell Latitude D830 and external Dell 1908FPt connected
through a dock station.
With default X configuration (intel driver) the resolution is too high for the
monitor to handle and it does not
fall back automatically to maximum 1280x1024. When using vesa driver, max
resolution is detected fine.
I'm running daily updated Intrepid, starting with Beta release - and like
Anreas, I did not have this problem
with Hardy.
$ xrandr
