Frank,
That seems to be a step in the right direction, #915resolution -l now correctly enumerates the modes and I can set my resoltuion but I can not force a refresh rate that works. It wants to use 56Hz, but I need to use min 60Hz.

My xorg.conf has the following:

Section "Monitor"
#(II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
#(II) I810(0): clock: 119.0 MHz   Image Size:  433 x 271 mm
#(II) I810(0): h_active: 1680  h_sync: 1728  h_sync_end 1760 h_blank_end 1840 h_border: 0
#(II) I810(0): v_active: 1050  v_sync: 1053  v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1080 v_border: 0
#(II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 56  V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30  H max: 81 kHz, PixClock max 140 MHz
#(II) I810(0): Monitor name: SyncMaster
#(II) I810(0): Serial No: H9LP901450
        Identifier      "Monitor0"
        VendorName      "Samsung"
        ModelName       "206BW"
        DisplaySize     433     271
        VertRefresh     60
        Modeline        "1680x1050_60" 119 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080
EndSection

As far as I can tell by searching the net, this would be all I need? One thing to note, in your web page you point to a conf file in /etc/sysconfig? How does 915resoltuion know to use that? It also doesnt register itself as a service such that chkconfig can use it? I just created a bash script with "/usr/sbin/915resolution 30 1680 1050 24" in it and linked it in rc5.d/.

Thanks!
