I finally hooked up the Acer monitor AL2016W. I can get it to work, but
only at certain resolutions. I have attached my xorg.conf file below.
I made changes to it ... and the 1680x1050 works fine. The 1280x800
works fine as well ... but it is a bit course. I was hoping to get
1440x900 to work
When I go into system-config-display ... i do not get any other options
with the 16:10 ratio that this wide screen LCD has. In the Modes
Section, the only line that is truly right (stolen off the internet
someplace) is the 1680x1050 at 60 Hz ... all the others are just guesses
pretty much
Assistance would be greatly appreciated as the 1680 setting is too tall
vertically and I can not adjust the monitor to get the lower edge to fit
on the screen.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
