I have the same monitor actually, here are some tips:
Add this modeline to your "Monitor" section:
modeline "1680x1050 at 60" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054
1087 -hsync +vsync
Add the new resolution to your "Screen" section ("1680x1050 at 60"),
finally restart X, set the new resolution using system-config-desplay
or Resolution Applet.
Good luck!
