xorg.conf - Acer 2016W screen

Hello,

yesterday I bought a new screen (acer 2016W) and I'd like to know how I should reconfigure my xorg.conf to be able to use its maximal resolution (1680*1050). I suppose I should add a line in the modelines but I don't know how.
By the alsa suppose I should replace the "DPMS" option by "LCD" - Am I right?

Thanks

This is what I changed when adding an LCD widescreen. I also connect mine via DVI.
