Dell E228WFP xorg.conf
I just got my E228WFP yesterday and it is up and running now. I have a Nvidia 5200 graphics card, and can use either the nvidia or the nv driver. With the nvidia driver it was pretty much plug and play, I just had to add the correct mode (1680x1050). With the nv driver I also had to add a modeline statement, which I obtained from running gtf.
I had done some searching here on the web, and I can tell you that using the refresh rate of 55 that some have recommended DOES NOT WORK. However 56 DOES work, although the clock is slightly higher than the 135mhz limit. If I am in fact overclocking the card, it is by less than 1%.
Here is the relevant part of my xorg.conf:
