Help the kernel guys out with a little more info.  Attach the results of
lspci to your bugzilla entry.  Did it work with stock FC4?  Try another
monitor to isolate the problem to the card or the monitor.  Are the card
and the monitor being detected correctly?  Get the kernel source and
check for recent changes in the kernel module for that video card.  Are
you running all of rawhide or just the kernel?  Does dmesg say anything
about it?
