To get your modeline you can use this site:
http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines

But I am sure there is an onboard possibility with Fedora to get your
modeline (I did it on my laptop but unfortunatelly I don't have it
here).

You just have to add to xorg.conf:
modeline "YOUR MODELINE"

It works great with nv as driver, with nvidia-drivers you have to add
another line that they use your modeline (and that as well I do not know
by heart).

Hopefully somebody can help out to fill in my skeleton infos.

Have fun, my hp7000 widescreen works great with FC2.
