Fill in the monitor characteristics by hand into /etc/X11/xorg.conf or
give system-config-display a try.

   I did that.  It still does not work.  I know the Monitor vert/hort
   parameters and entered it, but it still will not recognize it.

   Note that I had to use the Fedora Rescue CD in order to modify
   the xorg.conf by hand. I note that FC4 does not use the script:
   'system-config-display' but instead uses a Python script. Will
   it still work?  I am trying this now... and will let you know
   if it will work.
