Are you sure your LCD is capable of a higher resolution? I don't have
one of these machines, but a quick look at Dell's website showed they
sell this laptop with two different screens: 1440x900 and 1920x1200.
If your LCD is 1440x900, then you won't be able to get a higher
resolution.
If you have the 1920x1200 screen, then I suggest you look at the Linux
on Laptops website: http://www.linux-laptop.net/
You'll find several links on the Inspiron 9300, including one about
(k)ubuntu and a couple with sample xorg.conf files.
