16:10, actually :-)

If it's the Intel graphics, you could try the attached xorg.conf - it's
pretty simple, and works fine for me.  

Otherwise, if "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn't help you,
then:

gtf 1280 800 60

Paste the results into xorg.conf wherever "Modeline" statements have to go
(I can't remember), and then reference "Mode 1280x800_60.00" in your
xorg.conf instead of "Mode 1024x768".

You should NOT need that ugly 915resolution hack for a Dell.
