I played around with this tool.
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl

Not sure if its current or not.  When I plug in the numbers from the
U3011 user guide, it spits out settings for 2560x1440 instead of
2560x1600.   

Makes me wonder if the nvidia and nouveau drivers have a software
limitation of some sort, thus my question of is this a software or a
hardware issue.
