I have the same problem with an external Dell 2005FPW widescreen display with a native resolution of 1680x1050.

I have a laptop (Thinkpad X60 tablet) with an internal display of 1400x1050.

I have been able to instruct the driver to set the internal display to 1680x1050--it pans, which is the right thing to do. Idiotically enough, the card now sends a 1680x1050 signal to the monitor that exactly mimics the panning (and is slightly fuzzy).

This uses clone mode. Trying to use CRT+LDS fails with a messed-up display.

Another Thinkpad with an ATI card can do 1400x1050 internal/1680x1050 external just fine, so I don't think I am asking for something crazy.
