hardy heron, dell 6400 & wide screen TV

[bryn mitchell]

i am running hardy heron on a Dell inspiron 6400 and want to connect it to a wide screen panasonic HDTV via a VGA connection.
the closest resolution i can use is 1280x768 but it still leaves about 40% of the desktop display off the television display. it re-positions the task bar up the laptop monitor and shortens it so that it can be seen on the television display bu the rest of the desktop is lost on the TV.
the laptop is about 3 yrs old and hardy heron was installed thru XP home.
how can i fix this problemo to allow me to see all the desktop?
