I set everything in YaST2 manually to the specs of the manufacturer and
saved without testing in SaX2.

In the nVidia X Server Settings of the nVidia Dock (control panel) says:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Server Version Number: 11.0
Server Vendor String: The X.Org Foundation
Server Vendor Version: 1.5.2 (10502000)
NV-Control Version: 1.17
X Screens: 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The system uses:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Resolution 1400x1050 - Auto Freq (75 or 60)
X Screen Number: 0
Color Depth: 16,7 Mill Colors (Depth 24)
Meta Mode: 1 (1400x1050 +0+0)

GPU 0 - (GeForce 8500GT)

- Graphics Processor: GeForce 8500 GT
- VBIOS Version: 60.86.50.00.00
- Memory: 512 MB
- Bus Type: PCI Express 16X
- Bus ID: 2:0:0
- IRQ: 16
- X Screens: Screen 0
- Display Devices: CRT-0 (CRT-0)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then I try with the nVidia control panel. There is no 1680x1050
resolution available. I can enter it manually and save it in the X
Server Display Configuration with Advanced as Panning, but that is no
good; it just spreads beyound the LCD breadth with panning. The circles
remain oval.

I've tried VGA. I have not used DVI yet.
