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.
