I created the file "~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa" and put
this in it:
mode 1680 1050 32
But when I reboot, I still get 1024x768, and my "vesa" file has been
changed to:
mode 1400 1050 32
That's because it's the resolution nearest to what you'd like to have.
At least you only have to stretch horizontally. I had the exact same
issue when having to use Vesa with my nvidia 7600 Go before Rudolf
fixed a driver issue.
I would also like 1680 x 1050, but I get 1600 x 1200. The Screen
preference panel reports the correct monitor name, but my next lowest
choice is 1280 x 1024. This is a DVI-D video out. Unfortunately the
difference is enough to distort images and text such that they appear
beautiful but "wrong". Squares are not quite square, circles aren't
circles.
I have no experience at all with video drivers so I don't really know
what is wrong here. Is there a ticket for whatever is causing this?
Or something I can modify in my build to force the correct size? It
seems so close!

This worked for me!
Excellent. Technically the credit goes to Urias who patiently
explained it to me.
Until this stops happening with every build, I would recommend putting
something about this in the documentation. Widescreens are not going
away - until next year when we need 3D monitor drivers!? :)
More later,
Jack
