Can't make ATI radeon use 1680x1050 resolution

I can't get my ati card to display 1680x1050 resolution in xorg. I'm running xorg 7.1 and the newest ati drivers. but I only get 1600x854 (or something) when trying to set it to 1680x1050. My video card is ATI Radeon Mobility 9700. Do  I need to update the firmware of the card, or is there a setup issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

That's an old card - it may not display that resolution, which has recently become a standard for widescreens.

If I look at ATI documentation for Radeon 9700, it doesn't list that resolution as supported.

I wonder if there is a firmware upgrade for something like that?
