FC6 did the same sort of thing for me. I had to manually pick a monitor
from the list, then my resolution settings were obeyed. If it had a
generic or automatic monitor, it'd use the resolutions that it thought
were right. I think the automatic options aren't very good.
Long ago, when it came to configuring X with unrecognised monitors,
you'd enter in horizonal and vertical frequency ranges, and X got
configured in a sensible manner. Setting the number of X vs Y pixels,
alone, is not enough to configure the display.
