That makes no sense.  If it's a 1680x1050 virtual size, you don't actually
have 1680x1050, and if it's the physical size, just decrease the size of
the virtual.

If your X server really can't set the physical size, it's not a _bug_ in the
i810 driver so much as Windows actually supplies information that isn't
available to X by default, but there are ways.  I have to use 915resolution
to set a valid modeline for my laptop at 1280x800.  If your Xorg.0.log
doesn't show something like:

Mode: NN (1680x1050)

(where NN is any 2 digit hex number), you don't have that available without
915resolution.
