I read: Is it possible to have 1680*1050 displayed under Linux?
Yeah, I have a nVidia 6600 GT and a Dell 2005FPW and it works perfectly.

on a french list, I found this

It seems it did work, and these messages are dated December 2004.
From various messages it appears that some users had no problems and other did
have many. However, it looks to me that the 6600 GT does support 1680x1050.
If you're not interrested in gaming, you might settle for a 6600 (not GT),
they are slower & cheaper but should otherwise be compatible.
Excellent. Thank you very much!
