Arrg. If this monitor weren't so awesome it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
Long story short.. something broken in my computer with evil ATI card, so I'm using my old PC (with nvidia card). I can not, can not, can not, can not, get Ubuntu to run at 1680x1050 even though it is in xorg.conf. I've installed the drivers, and even ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. The only thing that has worked so far (don't ask my why I tried this) is: 1) booted to recovery mode. 2) mv xorg.conf xorg.fnoc > starx To my surprise, with no xorg.conf to read from, X started up and let me choose 1680x1050, but of course there was no hardware acceleration! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
