Two reasons:

1) Dell's xserver only supports stock VGA cards at 640x480x16, and
Dell's own high res
card, apparently it's a Renaissance GRX card (about $1300 from Dell).

2) Dell's bus mouse driver is not functional in this release...aparently
they are working on
fixing that, but none-the-less it would be nice to have the mouse working :).
