xorg.conf ModeLine for VGA connected ViewSonic monitors

Even with latest Linux distributions you can face the problem of Xorg not detecting your monitor.

My monitor is ViewSonic VG2030wm and it is capable of working at 1680x1050 resolution but Xorg can't detect that and highest resolution that I can use is 1024x768.

You need to add ModeLine so the Xorg can recognize it. Here is my Monitor section from xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "ViewSonic"
        VendorName   "ViewSonic"
        ModelName    "VG2030wm"
        HorizSync    24.0 - 92.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 85.0
        Option       "DPMS"
        ModeLine "1680x1050" 170.00 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 +hsync +vsync
EndSection

Probably you will need just the ModeLine row but I am publishing the whole Monitor section.
