I think it could and probably would.

Yes I do think yours might. I think you should read about HorizSync &
VertRefresh in the xorg.conf man page again. While you are there, read about
PreferredMode. If you insist on using an xorg.conf file, then express HorizSync
and VertRefresh as ranges instead of values. e.g. instead of
HorizSync 47.71
VertRefresh 59.79
use
HorizSync 45-49
VertRefresh 58-62
or
HorizSync 30-72
VertRefresh 56-80
I have ATI Radeon 7500, which is about a year older than your Radeon XPRESS 200,
at least a full generation older. It works just fine @1680x1050 on Debian
Stretch 9.4 without any xorg.conf file:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-0 connected primary 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
474mm x 296mm
1680x1050 59.97*+ 74.89
1600x1000 60.01
1280x1024 75.02 72.05 60.02
