I just got Debian 3.1 Sarge on my Dell d800. The problem was my wide screen display it just wouldn't take. I had to install the Nvidia drivers and edit the XF86Config-4 file.
XF86Config-4 (WSXGA laptop screen):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 28.0 - 107.0
VertRefresh 30.0 - 130.0
ModeLine "1680x1050" 147.1 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 +hsync +vsync

... And of course ...
Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "800x600" "640x480"
My d8000 is equipted with the GeForce FX Go5650. You can get the you can grab the Nvidia driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run, from the Nvidia site. It's the Linux IA32 driver.
