[SOLVED] [Xorg] Samsung SM 2232BW

Whell i am going nuts here. What i'm trying to do past two days is to make my monitor to play nice with my Geforce 9600GT graphics card (nvidia driver) on D-SUB over adapter but i cann't get it to run on native resolution (1680x1050). It just wonn't go over 1280x960. So i tried to go as usual to wiki and i ended with new xorg.conf;

[tomek@callisto ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 285.05.09  (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-02.nvidia.com)  Fri Sep 23 17:55:57 PDT 2011

Just for the record - i made it to work I deleted xorg.conf and made /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf...and it looks like this:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Monitor0"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 81.0
    VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
    Option   "DPI" "96 x 96"
    Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "nvidia" #Choose the driver used for this monitor
#    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"  #backup if original conf don't work
#    Option "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/home/tomek/edid.bin"  #backup if original conf don't work
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Screen0"  #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section
    Device        "Device0"
    Monitor       "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth  24 #Choose the depth (16||24)
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth    24 
        Modes     "1680x1050_60.00" #Choose the resolution
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Maybe it will help someone
