I have an Inspiron 600m and experienced the same issue. It has some sort of Radeon,
but I don't know the specifics. My external does 1280x1024 but was showing only
1024x768. To fix, I manually edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and added
"1280x1024" in the Display section for the second monitor and disabled the HorizSync
and VertRefresh (commented them out) so that it could auto-detect. E.g.:
Find the line that reads
.... "1024x768" "800x600"
Change to
"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
Comment out the HorizSync and VertRefresh for the external.
