[opensuse] Help Widescreen 1680x1050, Intel 915G can't get display configured
Mates.

I have a new Acer AL2216W that runs native at 1680x1050. The install is Suse 10 with xorg-x11-6.8.2-100.2. The video card supports 1680x1050 natively and works well under M$. I cannot for the life of me get the display to work under suse 10 at anything other that 1280x1024.

I have installed and used 915resulution to patch Mode 30 to 1680x1050 at 24 bits/pixel:

I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include the proper modeline created with gft to include the following:

Section "Monitor"
 Option       "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
 DisplaySize  452 283

 UseModes     "Modes[0]"
EndSection

 EndSubSection

X starts just fine and Sax2 shows the resolution to be at 1680x1050 at 60 Hz, but the display is still squished like 1280x1024 is being stretched to 1680x1050. The Image fills the screen just fine, but it is obviously *not* right. Also, KDE control center -> display shows the resolution at 1280X1024 at 75Hz and I cannot select 1680x1050 in the control center.

   *Help*, what else can I try????
