Ya, VGA has limits and does some strange things when shooting for high (WideScreen) res.
Normally, I would suggest you use DVI, but since you don't have one, try the HDMI or DisplayPort.
Try an older driver (right before 6xxx cards came out). Since it's a laptop, use Dell's drivers ... or read threads about modifying stock drivers to run on your laptop (I can't help you there ... but I'm sure others can).
yea unfortunatly ati fails in some areas and i had a ASUS 24 inch monitor and it required upscaling to be cranked to show on the screen properly and oh look it was much the same M17Xr2 you got dual 5870's in which i was using HDMI ...DVI is outdated hense why its not there but vga is for other reasons .

Also, that monitor is kinda old ... better try it on a desktop PC and make sure it's working properly.
Also, as a work-around ... if you can reach any of these 16:10 reses, use them and then use the 2405 or the ATI "scaling" to upscale to native:
1280x800 16:10 WideScreen
1440x900 16:10 Widescreen
1680x1050 16:10 Widescreen
1920x1200 16:10 Widescreen (native or max)
