Marc, please choose a more appropriate list next time. LKML is not
for user questions about "Why doesn't my monitor+GPU work?"

Trying to get my Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard and my Samsung

Looking in Xorg.0.log it ssems to think that the panel size is
1280x1024 in spite of my setting telling it differently.
Sorry if this is off topic but I thought that the smart people
would be here. In Windows I just plug it in and it works. So I
figure Linux should work too. :)
Wrong list, but anyway...
If you're using a DVI cable, ensure it is dual-link.
Uhh, no; 1680x1050 does not require a dual-link DVI port/cable. As
to a good GPU which "Just Works(TM)" out of the box and still has at
least passable render performance (although not for some modern
games), the R200-series Radeon cards (listed below) work extremely
well. They even support a 3d-accelerated merged-framebuffer Xinerama-
style; you can split a 3d-accelerated window across both monitors.
R200-series cards:
R200: Radeon 8500/8500LE/9100, FireGL 8700/8800
rv250: Radeon 9000/9000Pro
rv280: Radeon 9200/9250/9200SE
