Wide screen seems to be a bit of a problem
You used horizontal and vertical refresh values from the manual?
Then it seems we can exclude one common error.
Tell us which video card you have and post your xorg.conf

Re: Acer AL2216WBD 22in Wide Screen
xorg.conf is OK and nvidia no problems....
May be that the resolution is to far off from what's expected
If you use only one monitor add
to section "Device" makes a difference but not for your problem
One way would be to use a modeline
I've got one for you if you want to use 60Hz vertical
Horizontal Resolution: 1680
Vertical Resolution: 1050
Vertical Refresh Rate: 60.00 Hz
Horizontal Refresh Rate: 65.35 KHz
Dot Clock Frequence: 149.00 MHz
75 is out of range, 70 would be
This is no first hand solution, but you could try it

Code: Select all
Option "DynamicTwinView" "False"

Re: Acer AL2216WBD 22in Wide Screen
Did you go into the screens and graphics preferences and change the Model to LCD Panel
either the Acer wide screen you have or to the Generic LCD Panel 1680x1050 (wide screen)
Often there is a box to check for wide screen
With my 22" it requires this change in some Debian based distro's also you will need to log out
