Bloody hell.
Bought a new LCD monitor. This is easy right. Plug it in, turn it on, pick new resolution. Job done.
Trust me, the first time you try to pursuade Linux Kernal 2.6.x to try to talk to a flat 1680x1050 LCD panel through a Nvidia gfx card, you'll discover it's a little more involved than that.
Suffice to say, it's working now, but I've had to disable pretty much all of the auto detection and stick it in "Just do what I tell you to" mode.
Looks good though...

Mine is allright... allthough I did install this kernel *after* getting the screen. Previous distro I had to manually change xorg.conf.
Yes, I suspect a ground up install would have worked.
Amusingly, I now have so many switches in my xorg.conf, I have no idea which one fixed the issue....
