Besides the pride and arrogance Denethor was a very wise man like his son Faramir. Boromir just cared about fighting and knew basically nothing about the ring. Faramir was wise in the lore so he was able to reject the ring. Denethor was also very wise and I believe for a while or short period of time Denethor would of resisted the ring. Of course this depending on the situation Gondor was upon the brink of destruction he might of done anything to save Gondor.

But, Denethor was more concerned about other things then the ring. He was worried about Gondor's fate and worried that this "Telcontar" would claim the throne of Gondor and "supplant" him. No, I think without the palantir Denethor would of known about the ring. His short talk with pippin he already figured out more then what pippin had said. He knew that when Gandalf the Grey died and his son Boromir hadn't led the fellowship there was someone else in the Fellowship that was from a nobler(don't even know if thats a word, but bear with me) background.
