Try:

  $ utresdef -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  $ utresdef -a -c "Dell 2005FPW" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1680x1050 <<EOF
  htotal=2256
  hfp=104
  hsyncwidth=184
  vtotal=1087
  vfp=1
  vsyncwidth=3
  vcomposite=8
  pixclock=14714
  xres=1680
  yres=1050
  hz=60
  EOF

Then use 'utresadm' to associate that timing with a particular DTU,
and make sure that the access token being presented by that DTU 
does not already have a stale cached timing setting:

  $ utresadm -d -c <DTU> -t <token>
  $ utresadm -a -c <DTU> -t <token> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  $ /opt/SUNWut/lib/utresexec -k -c <DTU> -t <token>

It's a bug that 'utresexec' is needed here, that really should 
happen automatically as a side effect of logging out.

'utsettings' does not know how to handle locally-defined timings.
If you launch 'utsettings' on a DTU that is using a locally-defined
timing then 'utsettings' will report the current timing as 
"Site-Defined", but it can't tell you what the timing means, it 
can't distinguish between multiple site-defined timings, and it
doesn't know how to let you force a site-defined timing onto a DTU.
This is part of the reason why the 'utresdef' documentation is
incomplete: the support for non-builtin timings is weak in other
parts of SRSS.  Until those other parts catch up using 'utresdef'
is a little dangerous, it can easily cause confusion to users.
