Append the following entry to your /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file and then set the resolution using the fbconfig command (Please make a copy of the
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file before changing it because an
incorrect one will result in the Xserver not starting)

class="XVIDEOTIMING" name="VESA_STD_1680x1050x60"
    HorizActive="1680"
    HorizFrontPorch="104"
    HorizSyncWidth="176"
    HorizBackPorch="280"
    HorizSyncWidthDVS="0"
    SerrationMode="off"
    VertActive="1050"
    VertFrontPorch="3"
    VertSyncWidth="6"
    VertSyncExtension="0"
    VertSyncExtensionMode="off"
    VertBackPorch="30"
    PixelClock="146249"
    SyncType="sep"
    SyncHorizPolarity="neg"

    SyncGreenPolarity="neg"
    VESACVTMode="YES"
    ReducedBlankingMode="NO"
    RoundingFactor="8";

After appending the above to the OWconfig file, you can do the following:

fbconfig -dev pfb0 -res VESA_STD_1680x1050x60

and restart the Xserver to run with the new resolution.
