Probably the reason that 1680x1050 isn't listed, is that xresprobe's
ddcprobe.sh script always drops the highest resolution returned by
ddcprobe. For some monitors (esp. true crts), the higher resolutions
can be problematic, so it makes sense that the highest one would be
dropped, even if that's sort of a crude solution for cases like these.
The reason it's getting detected as crt instead of lcd is because
ddcprobe.sh determines this by grepping for "^input: .*digital" from the
ddcprobe output. Looking at the raw ddcprobe output, it doesn't seem
there's any alternate way of detecting it's an lcd. Fortunately, I
don't think there's much functional difference in how Ubuntu configures
X for lcds from crts, so this error is probably innocuous.
For gutsy, though, you should be able to fix this up post-install by
using the Screens and Graphics tool. This bug should be left open
though, so we can fix things better in Hardy.
