*You* have to make it give you 1680x1050 by patching one of the bios modes! (i.e. You have to change one of the modes with 915resolution to modify the bios and put 1680x1050 in there in place of one of the existing modes.) Pick any mode that you don't use and patch that mode for 1680x1050, say mode (43) for example which is by default (800x600). Recall the required options for setting/patching a mode are: 915resolution [mode] [width] [height] [color-depth] So do this as root: # 915resolution 43 1680 1050 24 Then run 915resolution again to check to see if it worked and you should get: # 915resolution -l Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 1680x1050, 24 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel # Your mode is then patched, you have made the changes to xorg.conf, so just restart X, then if you don't default to 1680x1050, you will then be able to set it in Yast because 1680x1050 will then appear as a resolution option for sax2. I know this stuff can be frustrating, but often it is a "forest for the trees issue" and once you get it, you will see how simple it is. Good luck again!
