The Fedora installer, even test 3 of FC2, does not offer this resolution setting at install time.  Instead the display is run at 1024x768 with the hardware, I suppose, stretching the image to fill the screen.  Several suggestions I came across for using this resolution on other notebooks failed to work with the eMachines M2105.  Of course, eMachines was of absolutely no help.  The latest Knoppix also would not drive the screen at this resolution.

FC1 already supports WXGA.  I'm running a Fujitsu Lifebook C2220 at
1400x1050.  The problem is in your XF86Config file and you probably
don't have the "HorizSync" or "VertRefresh" set properly.  For my
machine:

	Section "Monitor"
	        Identifier   "Monitor0"
	        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1400x1050"
	        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
	        VertRefresh  59.0 - 75.0
	        Option      "dpms"
	EndSection

and further on:

	Section "Screen"
	        Identifier "Screen0"
	        Device     "Videocard0"
	        Monitor    "Monitor0"
	        DefaultDepth     16
	        SubSection "Display"
	                Depth     16
	                Modes    "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" 
"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	        EndSubSection
	EndSection

And this is using the standard vesa driver.
