Hi;

Been fussing around with new flat screen monitors after my ViewSonic 
went south.

One I am trying is an Acer AL2016W 20" wide monitor (RIVA TNT2 Model 64 
graphics card).  It gives the sync frequencies and vert refresh rate and 
says that I need to set a resolution of 1680 x 1050.  So I do all that 
in XF86Conf and it starts fine.  But the image is stretched 
horizontally, sort-of like the screen.  It is like the regular image has 
been stretched to fit the monitor.  I need the aspect ratio to be 
correct because I used CAD to make things that need to look correct ;-)

Any ideas from all of you graphics card/ monitor experts out there?
Thanks in advance!
