Yes, it did usually say why.
* The driver was limiting to 60Hz modes only
* Any mode over 1280xY would be rejected as "too large for ViewSonic
VX2025wm (DFP-0)".
However, I am happy to report I have managed to get 1680x1050 after
googling a bit for overriding the EDID's pixel clock rate. I stumbled
on someone mentioning a way to tell the nVidia driver to skip the pixel
clock rate (his's monitor was working until upgrading to Xorg 6.7 due
this very reason).
So, searched the release notes for the driver and found two options to
bypassing the clock checks... And TA-DA! I got 1680x1050 on the first
try.
For anyone curious.. here is my Xorg.conf (barebones in my frenzy to
isolate the problem).
