I've some ideas, see below. Especially the "ModeValidation" options.
It should be enough.

Still this issue? I am not aware that SaX2 has any limits regarding the
selectable size. You just cannot select modes your monitor cannot
display, so if you explicitely select a larger one, it should be
possible. Be sure to select a LCD one (reduced modes).

Hm. Sounds like a bug. Anyway, just select a standard monitor.

That monitor description is good enough. You need at maximum 65.3kHz
HorizSync.

It might also help, if you include
# 1680x1050 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.76MA) hsync: 65.29 kHz; pclk: 146.25 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
*or*
# 1680x1050 59.88 Hz (CVT 1.76MA-R) hsync: 64.67 kHz; pclk: 119.00 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050" 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync
here (the later is reduced mode, only works with LCDs (but should work
through a VGA cable as well).

Apparently you did everything correct in the configuration step.

Add
Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidMaxPClkCheck,NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
in the "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Some Monitors ly about
their capabilities. If this works, please create a bug report so we can
add the monitor to the database. If it doesn't, please create a bug
report, it's probably more complicated.
Maybe you even have to add "NoEdidModes" to this list. Maybe only one of
these is enough. These options are explained in
/usr/share/doc/packages/x11-video-nvidia/README.txt
(or /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA/README.txt, depending on your installation
method).

In that case you will need the reduced mode. You probably have to add it
manually. Your card and/or monitor is not dual-link capable. For more
information, you need to specify something like "-logverbose 9" to the X
command line.
Hope this helps
