What kind of monitor is it?  Is it one of those Dell widescreen deals?

Anyway, use google to search using the name of your monitor, and 
modeline, and 1680x1050.

e.g.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=modeline+Dell+2005FPW+1680x1050&btnG=Search

Follow the various links, and you should find something like

ModeLine    "1680x1050" 119.0 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 
-hsync +vsync

which you put into the appropriate place in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
