the video card doesn't detect your monitor's capabilities correctly
(perhaps because your video card/monitor is connectec to the VGA and not
the DVI interface?). According to Dell
(http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecs&sku=320-0697&c=us&l=en&cs=19),
which doesn't give us much information, but at least this:
Max Sync Rate (V x H): 76 Hz x 80 kHz
Factory Preset Resolution Modes: 640x480 @ 75 Hz, 800x600 @ 60.3 Hz,
800x600 @ 75 Hz, 1024x768 @ 60 Hz, 1024x768 @ 75 Hz, 1152x864 @ 75 Hz,
1280x1024 @ 60 Hz, 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz
So 1280x1024 is possible at 75 Hz. Now looking through your XFree log, we
see:

(try to find it back, it helps you to understand the X output).
The hsync rate of your monitor can be 80 kHz maximum, while the range of
30-50 kHz is set/detected. You have to set it manually in your XF86Config
in the monitor section:
HorizSync 30-80
Try to find the correct minimum frequencies of your LCD device and set
them accordingly.
