Okay, I tested the daily build of xenial (ubuntu version) this morning.
It is using kernel 4.3.0-2, and I can confirm that this detects the
monitor without problem.

You mean upgrade to the whole distribution or just the kernel? This
issue is happening on my main work laptop so I need reasonable stability
so I'm not sure I want to use a pre-alpha distro.
I think for now I am fine using the mainline 4.3 kernel which works
fine, or the 4.2.0-rc8 one which I comp

and I have attached the output.
The summary is that commit 4efa83c8c786ab7ec7982e3dd348cb7e7ecbeb04 is
the one that fixes things. This makes sense because I am attaching my
external monitor via a DP->VGA dongle, mentioned in
Dear Christopher,
I updated the BIOS today. Ouput from the command you requested is:

Dear Christopher,
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this
for at least a week because Real Life™ is too busy. (Also, I've not
updated a BIOS before so I am cautious about the idea.)
But if I can do it some time in the next week or two I shall update the
bug.

Title:
Resolution too low on external monitor
Public bug reported:
On xubuntu 15.10.
Kernel version 4.2.0-18-generic x86_64 does not detect an external
monitor when it is connected via the minidisplay port. Using xrandr, I
can force output to the monitor, but the maximum resolution is 1024x768
(I think). Hardware is a Dell XPS 13.
Upgrading
I was having a problem rather similar to this (although on different
hardware). I found that installing a 4.3.xx version kernel from the
mainline builds described above fixed the problem.
(Miraculously, I don't think it broke anything else either!)
