I've a Dell SC420 and a Dell Ultrascan P991 screen (not recognized by the
FC3 installer).
I've set up the screen as "Generic CRT screen - 1280x1024 capable" during
install process and have the following in my xorg.conf (I can use the
1280x1024 resolution - hope this will help) :

HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0
