It's not possible to have 1680x1050 virtual resolution with 1600x1200 physical resolution, see below. > This worked perfectly with the settings below under xfree86, > but it's not working anymore with X.org.

Physical resolution refers to what's being displayed on the monitor, whereas virtual resolution refers to the width and height of the desktop. The relation physical resolution <= virtual resolution is invariant. Considering this, please rephrase the setup you'd like to achieve. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
