How can I change the bash screen resolution to custom values?

Question

I installed archlinux-arm on the RPI.

I have a TV, which has 1680x1050 resolution. Where can I change the bash settings to fit the screen correctly? I also want to the boot screen (where I can see what is loading) to be nice.

I have this TV. Which is the correct settings for this in the config.txt?

In the /boot/config.txt file, add hdmi_group=2 and hdmi_mode=58 to get 1680x1050. You must be root to do this.
Restart the Raspberry Pi; sudo reboot.

Notes

See http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt for a complete list of resolutions and modes.

I can explain what I think. In the config file have you 'uncommented' meaning to remove the # from a specific line. If u do not do this the Pi wont think any changes have been made.

Also here is a link to a resolution spreadsheet.
