hey bob,

give this a try:

   Section "Monitor"
            Identifier   "Monitor0"
   EndSection

   Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Videocard0"
            Driver      "ati"
   EndSection

   Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Screen0"
            Device     "Videocard0"
            Monitor    "Monitor0"
            DefaultDepth     16
            SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1680x1050_60.00"
             EndSubSection
   EndSection
