Ubuntu 9.10 not detecting screensize and wont let me set the right resolution

I have an Acer Aspire Revo which has a Nvidia Ion graphics processor in it. I have it driving a Samsung SyncMaster 2043NW. When i used this monitor with a Windows PC it ran it 1680x1050. In ubuntu it wont go to any 16:10 resolution. Is there any way to force the resolution? or get the nvidia config to pickup the montior as anything other than CRT-0?

Very wierd, it turned out that it was the VGA cable, it was missing 4 of the pins, not because they where damaged they just arent there
