Resolution on LXDE Higher than 1554x984?

Hey,
For some reason I can't seem to get the resolution to go to my desired resolution of my monitor, which is: 1680x1050.
I've tried looking for the xorg.conf file but I can't seem to find that, and I've also tried to force the resolution with config.txt, but that seems to have made no difference with LXDE.
Any suggestions, please?

Thanks!
For all those who have a Samsung 19" monitor, then these are the settings that I used:
Code: Select all
overscan_top=-45
overscan_bottom=-45
overscan_left=-45
overscan_right=-45

I'd also like to say that at first I thought when you installed Debian onto the SD card, it would have a config.txt on there, but it turns out you have to create the config.txt file yourself with a text editor like "Notepad" on Windows... or with "Nano" on Linux.
With "Notepad" it's quite simple, open it up, add the above ^^ settings to the file, save it as > config.txt.
Then with doing it on Linux on bootup within the CLI, use:
"sudo nano /boot/config.txt" - a blank area of that file will be present.
Enter the above settings ^^, press CTRL+O at the same time, then it will save. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot the Pi.

It's generally considered better to do a "sudo reboot" (since that also works over e.g. SSH)
