[9fans] ViewSonic Wx2235wm 1680x1050

[Brantley Coile]

I just got one of these nice looking displays and can't figure out how
to get it working in it's best resolution.  I see a comment in the
bottom of vgadb for 1680x1050 which mentions it's a Wide Uxga+.  What
should my monitor setting be?  I run aux/vga forcing the monitor to be
multisync135 and try to set the resolution to 1680x1060x8 and get

aux/vga: main: multisync135@1680x1050x8 not in /lib/vgadb


My video card is:

What magic spell should I utter to gain the use of the
left 3½" of my display? :)

just define a new entry for it in /lib/vgadb. you can get all
necessary information from xvidtune if you want to go into details.
