OK, try:

gksu displayconfig-gtk

and choose Acer AL2216W(c,v,x). & check Widescreen (if that is what it
is). If nothing else, you'll be able to see the Horiz and Vert ranges
that you can use to build/customize your own xorg.conf.

If displayconfig-gtk isn't there, install it:

sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk
