hey bob,
give this a try:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "ati"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1680x1050_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
