I remember i had a lot of pain getting a Geforce 440MX to do 16:9, but it was all in the modelines. There are some modeline calculators on the web, but be warned that some of them produce bad output. I did eventually get it to work after a lot of trial and error.
Also because of this; (II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using hsync range of 30.00-85.00 kHz (II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using vrefresh range of 55.00-75.00 Hz (II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using maximum pixel clock of 160.00 MHz you may need to set the ranges in your xorg.conf instead. check the monitors specs first tho.
