I don't know which distribution you have but I have had the same
problem using SuSE 6.3.

The Dell laptop (I am not sure which version) had a Neomagic video
card with 896 KB (!), which only supports 800*600*256. Trying higher
resolutions is a recipe for disaster!

The other problem is that using a separate monitor (docking station)
didn't work, because it couldn't work at the refresh rate selected
with autodetection for the video card (88Hz).
Using Sax (Suses setup utility) with autodetect functioned correctly
(after I deleted the incorrect configuration file).

If you have a different utility, you can only use this information as
a rough guide of course ;-)

Good luck!
