New Hoary installl... and resolution issues...

	I just installed 5.04 on a Dell OptiPlex GX270 (Intel 865G graphics), 
with a Dell 2000FP flat panel screen. The only resolution is gives me is 
640x480, 60Hz. No option in the menu to change to a higher res.
	I tried dpkg-reconfigure, and was able to get higher resolutions to 
show up, but when I flipped it to 1280x1024, it used only the top left 
corner of the screen.
	I even tried tweaking /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand. No dice.

	The question is, what am I missing? Or does anyone have an xorg.conf 
file they could pass on?

	Currently I'm back to only 640x480. Here' the output from ddcprobe, and 
my current xorg.conf...
