Bill,
This is the first place to look: /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if Fedora puts
xorg.conf in that directory, otherwise where it's located.) In there you'll
find a screen section; mine's like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Regular Screen"
Device "nVidia GeForce 6150"
Monitor "Acer LCD"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Virtual 1440 900
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
You also need the "Monitor" and "Device" Sections; be sure the names are
consistent among the Sections.
Let us know what you find.
Rich
