your 'equipment' maybe rated higher, but the 'xrandr -q' is actually
showing how it is being seen.

note that it is showing 'VGA-0' as your connection and it may not give
you higher resolutions.

because it is showing '1024x768x60' as maximum, that may well be best
that you will get in 'VGA' mode. which is caused by video chip and it's
outputs.

also, try '--screen 1680x1050' instead of '--mode 1680x1050'.

something else to consider, try 'man xrandr' to see where you should be
using '--' or '-'.

try 'locate xrandr' to see if you have a 'Documents' file and read it.
