You are my personal hero. Until I found this nothing worked for me to getting 
my external 1680x1050 monitor working with my laptop and its Intel 915 graphic 
card. I have tried nearly every Howto, 915resolution, Modlines and so on 
without success. After installing the modsetting it worked out of the box. The 
only problem is that ctrl + alt + backspace could result in a crash of the 
whole system and you always need MonitorLayout CRT so you need two profiles for 
using it with external monitor and without but at least it works. I have really 
given up hope that this will work. Many thanks.
Because of the crash I am not sure if this is stable enough for default 
installation but I will make some more checks.
