[opensuse] video monitor aspect ratio samsung 226bw 22inch wide

hi folks,
I am testing a 22 inch Samsung 226BW wide monitor and would like some
assistance with the aspect ratio in openSUSE 10.0.

The monitor is configured as 1680x1050, 16.7m colors, and for the most part
looks great.. particularly color graphics. The monitor has two down sides:
1) fonts are a bit fuzzy out of box... took some tweaking on the fine
controls to sharpen the fonts without "overdrive" and then the fonts are
still not as crisp and clear as the 713V-- but they are liveable, for $329.
2) the display is oh so very slightly stretched lengthwise. Circles are just
ever so slightly oblong and photos are ever so slightly squashed top to
bottom.

Is there a way in software config to sharpen the fonts? Is there a way in
software config to tune up the aspect ratio ever so slightly?

Ps The monitor is correctly configured as aspect 16/10 with dimensions of
474mm X 296mm.

Thanks...

Pss For those of you who know about the "A" vs "S" panel differences, this is
an "A" panel... apparently made by AOC instead of Samsung "S". This panel
does not have any of the negative published side-affects of the normal "A"
panel (this one was built in late March) but its fonts just aren't quite
sharp enough... buyer beware... fortunately Bestbuy is going to let me swap
this one out for the "S" monitor... the bad news is that you can't tell which
monitor it is without opening the carton and looking at the rear panel.
