NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]

[Beats C]

Not more time today... It is not elegant, but it "survive" restarts... I
added it to an "application at startup" script I use from time to time,
which runs from /usr/local/bin with udiskctl commands to mount some
drives....:


xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053
1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1680x1050_60.00

BUT it throws an ugly error... I would keep investigating and reporting my
findings, if you find them useful!

Best Regards,
