Thanks, I tried that but still no 1680x1050. Sheesh. How different can
these displays be?

For kicks, I just tried adding a few additional modes to my screen:

        Section "Screen"
                Identifier      "WFP"
                Device          "Card0"
                Monitor         "External Monitor"
                DefaultDepth    24
                SubSection "Display"
                        Modes "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "800x600"
                        ViewPort 0 0 
                        Depth   24      
                EndSubSection
        EndSection

Ctrl-Alt-Numlock+ toggles between 1280x1024 and 800x600, but never goes
to 1680x1050. Are "invalid" modes ignored?

Do I need to tweak up a black magic ModeLine for this to work? Any
guesses as to why autoconfiguration doesn't figure out the highest
common denominator between my video card and monitor? (The hardware is
capable. Booting the laptop to a disgusting OS that happens to be
installed as well outputs just the resolution I want).
