Resolution not available

Hi, I have an EVGA UV16. I tried both the 1.5 and 1.6b2 beta drivers. They work fine. The issue I'm having is that the highest resolution I have available for an option is 1280x1024. The monitor supports 1920x1080. The UV16 only technically supports up to 1680x1050, though on windows I was able to get it to go to 1920x1080. I would live with 1680x1050, but 1280x1024 is just bad

Is it possible to force support for 1680x1050 or 1920x1080 resolution? If so, how? Thanks.

I should also note that I tried both a DVI and a VGA cable with a DVI to VGA converter and experienced the same results with both.

Edit:
It would probably also help if I include that I am using a brand new MacBook Pro i7 and currently have the 1.6b2 beta driver installed.

Also tried both 64 and 32 bit modes.

Added debug tool file.

Yes I can see that the software thinks that the 1920x1080 resolution is not supported on this hardware. The biggest resolution advertised in the display EDID after that is 1280x1024 and this explains why that is picked.
I don't have a solution for you in the short term I'm sorry. Can you swap any displays you have?
