External WUXGA Samsung monitor is forcing my laptop to VGA resolution.

To make a long story short, I have an aging Dell Inspiron 9200 with a full WUXGA (1920x1200) display happily running F7. I hooked it via VGA to a WUXGA Samsung (1920x1200) monitor, hoping to see exactly the same content. Instead, hooking up to the monitor forced the laptop back to 640x480 mode.

If I disconnect the monitor, everything is fine and I get full WUXGA on the laptop. Connect it up again, and lo-res VGA on both laptop and monitor. Argh.

I'm throwing F9 on the laptop just for fun to see if it has better display configuration, but is there a way around this? How does connecting the monitor somehow force the laptop into 640x480 mode? Thanks.
