No 1680x1050 resolution with Intrepid

Updating to Intrepid on a self-built box (Asus motherboard with
onboard ATI video) does not let me enable 1680x1050 screen resolution.
I do have the proprietary driver enabled, and KDE windows effects are
working, but there is no 1680x1050 resolution to choose from in System
Settings -> Display. I thought about simply adding it manually to
xorg.conf, but that does not seem likely to help;

ety at intrepid-desktop:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
#   snip comments

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
ety at intrepid-desktop:~$


I suppose that xorg.conf is mostly empty because of bulletproof X, but
now how can one configure it? Thanks in advance.
