DELL UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD Monitor

That is the monitor i have, max res. of 1680x1050

I have Suse 9.1, hoping to change the resolution to a higher setting, but it will only go up to 1280x1024

You need to adjust the VertRefresh and HorizSync ranges for your monitor in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Did you ever get your 2005FPW going at the max resolution? I'm asking because I'm thinking of getting one of these. Found a guy in Gentoo forum who has one and gave the following modeline:

Modeline "1680x1050" 119.0 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -hsync +vsync

A question: Is the screen surface a matt finish or is it shiny?
