So in the FC3 case, the answer is to add lines:

   Option      "CRT2HSync" "30.0 - 82.0"
   Option      "CRT2VRefresh" "50.0 - 90.0"

..to the "Device" section describing my radeon device.  These values
were divined by manually adding the monitor through the Display control
panel, and then transfering those values into the Option fields.

As the response from xorg says, consult your "radeon" man page for
the equivilent commands in FC2.

In my case it doesn't entirely solve my problem, as the resulting
screen has both the left and right sides "wrapped", and no amount of
screen resizing will fix that (shrinking the screen shrinks
everything, including both wrapped edges).  I'll have to play with a
modeline probably to get this to work right.  Either that or just buy
a modern monitor.
