Try adding that resolution explicitly in your xorg.conf,
something like:

    Section "Screen"
      Identifier "Screen"
      Device "Video"
      Monitor "Monitor"
      DefaultDepth 24
      SubSection "Display"
	Depth 24
	Modes "1680x1250"
      EndSubSection
    EndSection

If the driver doesn't understand that resolution, you may also have to
specify an explicit ModeLine for it (try Google).  HTH.
