I just put a 1680x1050 LCD monitor on my home system, and I went into system-config-display to configure it as such, and it just won't take.

Any suggestions? It's really annoying to have a wide screen and not be able to use it....
What version centOS, Kernel and nvidia drivers are you using? Also, what brand and model monitor?
I don't have my Samsung wide screen hooked up to my centos, but when I first connected it to my Mandriva system, I could not get the full wide screen. I was planning on upgrading, so I did not fiddle with it much, I figured I would wait to see if the updates in the new Mandriva worked any better. It did, as soon as I upgraded, the Mandriva auto-detected my monitor and all has been fine since.
It may bee you need to upgrade your Nvidia drivers.
