Resolution problem on widescreen
 
I have ATI FireGL graphics card (with proprietary ATI driver installed) and widescreen Viewsonic monitor, which can operate at 1680x1050 resolution. I have put a modeline to my xorg.conf, like this:

Modeline "1680x1050" 149.00 1680 1760 1944 2280 1050 1050 1052 1089

However, even though the monitor seems to operate at 1680x1050 resolution, I do not see my whole desktop on the screen. If I look at the log file, I see:

(--) fglrx(0): Virtual size is 1920x1080 (pitch 1920)

How do I fix this so that the virtual size is the same as the resolution of the monitor (1680x1050)?

Thanks in advance.

Here is my xorg.conf file. I tried with both commented and uncommented HorizSync and VertRefresh values. When they are commented out, I can see more of my desktop on the screen.

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier    "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"

        Identifier  "Monitor0"
        #HorizSync 30-82
        #VertRefresh 50-75
        Modeline "1680x1050"  149.00  1680 1760 1944 2280  1050 1050 1052 1089
#      ModeLine "1680x1050" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 +hsync +vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
EndSection
