Folks,

I recently had to replace my monitor...

Does anyone have settings for an Acer X223W Monitor that yield 1:1 
aspect? The way my system is configured the display is in wide screen 
and I would much prefer the 1:1 like I am use to having.

I have the following settings in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

...
Section "Device"
         Identifier      "3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3"
         Driver          "vesa"
         BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier      "Acer X223W"
         VendorName      "Acer Inc."
         ModelName       "X223W"
         Option          "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Default Screen"
         Device          "3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3"
         Monitor         "Acer X223W"
         DefaultDepth    24
         SubSection 	"Display"
...
  		Depth           24
                 Modes           "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" 
"832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
         EndSubSection
EndSection
...

According to the notes that came with the unit the maximum resolution 
is 1680x1050 with a depth of 24. Can I add that resolution to the Modes 
line thusly:

		Modes	"1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" 
"800x600" "720x400" "640x480"

Thanks,
Jay
