it is, but as I said, the max size of your desktop is not big enough to
accommodate it:
(II) RADEON(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (width too large for virtual size)

you'll need to add a virtual line (like your previous config) to the display
subsection of the screen section your config to allocate a large enough
desktop:
Virtual 2704 1050
