Binary package hint: xorg

If I connect my Dell Inspiron 1525 to my TV SHARP LC-32GA5E it is recognized correctly but the wrong resolutions are used/shown. Only the 4:3 resolutions 640,800 and 1024 are available. The TV is useable but the aspect ratio is wrong of course since it is a 16:9 display.
If I boot Karmic without KMS I can use the correct resolution 1280x720. So I guess it is a KMS issue.
