Thank you very much for this link. I see that, quite likely, there is an 
issue with this family of monitors and the intel driver but it seems 
quite hard to find it and fix it.

If you read the old thread, you will discover that I got a working 
modeline using powerstrip under windows. I didn't know about
cvt -v -r 1680 1050
which I discovered reading your link: I tried it and it gives me a 
different modeline with respect to the one I found. Namely, mine is
Modeline "1680x1050" 147.600 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -hsync +vsync
whereas cvt gives
Modeline "1680x1050R"  119.00  1680 1728 1760 1840  1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync
I will give it a try: maybe this will fix the crash...!

Thanks

Fabio
