Ahmed -
I don't have experience with your display, but have had grief getting
1680x1050 on VGA-connected Gateway and HP panels from systems with
Intel-chipset video controllers.
(1) The last time I tried the 'i810' driver, it still supported only
BIOS-provided modes. On the hardware I tried (Gateway and HP), the BIOS
didn't support 1680x1050.
However, as of RHEL 5.2, the 'intel' driver does not require aid from the
BIOS; so switching to that allowed me to drop the '915resolution' hack.
Apart from setting the driver for the videocard to 'intel', nothing has
been required--no custom modeline, in particular.
(2) That you are seeing the resolution, however, suggests that (1) may not
be the issue. Is it possible that you are getting the other resolution
from something saved in _user_ preferences?

Hi gurus,
I basically can't get that monitor working with the native resolution of
1680x1050! I tried the system-config-display, chose the exact monitor model
and the tool shows that resolution. After I save and restart X, it goes to
something else 1280x1024 or 1600x1200! I need to configure this on i810 and
another radeon card. Does anyone have this working, could you share your
xorg.conf ? Is the modeline dependant on the graphics card ? How can I force
a certain mode ?
Does this qualify to be a bug ?
I hope at this day and age, I don't need to generate custom modelines & such
!
Any help or pointers are highly appreciated
