That's not very surprising; the modesetting DDC code has recently seen
some significant compatibility testing which has uncovered quite a few
corner cases. Nice to see it working on your monitor.

That looks like the mode you want. I suspect the sync polarity isn't
right though, which can confuse the monitor. You'll note that xrandr
will list two 1680x1050 modes (with --q12). If you select the second one
(by using the XID explicitly instead of the mode name) and that works,
then the polarity is indeed mis-specified in EDID.

Yeah, not a problem -- the modesetting branch is making room for
resizing the screen to include another monitor. You can set the Virtual
size in the config file to change these numbers if you like.
