For my external Dell display I'm also stuck with 1024x768. As a work- around, the script below forces the 1600x1200 resolution. I have put the script in ~/.kde/Autostart/xres_fix.sh and done chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/xres_fix.sh to make it execute after KDE starts. I guess it could be executed also earlier if put into the right .Xsomething file.
