Although I know that many of these issues are resolved in F9, and that
there are ways to handle it from the command line in F8, there are a
couple of issues that I would like to mention:

1. On samsung monitors (I've tried three different) the correct
display settings are not detected when connected to the VGA output.
Where should this bug be filed?
2. The resolution of my lcd is only 1024x768, but the connected
monitors are all larger than this. But the intel card (915) apparently
does not want to set a higher resolution than this. Any ideas?

If someone could point the to the correct destination for a bug report
I will provide more information.
