Ah, I think I see what the problem is. Since it didn't detect the monitor, it set the wrong resolutions up. This is a dupe of 3731 apparently.

Change your screen section to look like this:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. X700"
 Monitor "Default"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 1
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 4
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 8
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 15
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 16
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 24
  Modes "1680x1050"
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Alternately, install and run displayconfig-gtk as root, and test out correcting the resolutions through that GUI tool. We'll probably be having people use this approach for fixing these resolution issues from now on.
