Back in the day, the following script resided in my ~/.config/autostart:
#!/bin/bash
# add a new mode using xrandr
# works with Lubuntu 14.04 on Pyrope
screen=$(xrandr | grep \ connected | awk '{print $1}')
xrandr --newmode 1680x1050 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054
1087 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode $screen 1680x1050
xrandr --output $screen --mode 1680x1050
