Hi Matt,
I'm no X.org master but I've had this problem before and it turned out
that refresh rates that were auto-detected were incorrect. Going on a
hunch I looked up the specs for your monitor here:
http://urlx.org/dell.com/2e07
and it shows that the max vertical sync rate is 75Hz and horizontal sync
rate is 80KHz. Your x.org conf has the max vert as 76.0. Try editing
this value to 75.0 and see if that will get rid of those "out of range
errors" and allow you to use 1280x1024.
HTH and Good Luck,
Ken
