Initailly i couldn't get anything to display with FC4, I had to connect my old monitor and change the Monitor manually to get the display working with the new monitor. Now I am having trouble configuring 1680x1050 mode.  Everytime I set this my display start to scroll horizontally... Any pointers....

The first setting you give (1680x1050) is 16:10 ratio and appears to be
the default for that laptop.  The other setting (1680x1024) is between
16:9 and 16:10.  I assume from the link you provided that you meant
1680x1050 both times.

On my LCD monitor I had to set the VertRefresh setting for the monitor
to read "VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0" instead of the one given by probing
(your "VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0").  It then worked perfectly with no
other tweaking (Other than setting the mode in the screen section).
