You could take a gander at my web page where I go through getting
my puny little 1920x1080 monitor working :-).

I found F7 to need the identical stuff FC6 needed.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the open source radeon driver
will support an X1900 card, and I don't know if the vesa driver
will be willing to accept the mode line you'll probably need.

You should already have the "cvt" utility on an F7 system (it
is part of X), and you can run it to generate the mode line:

zooty> cvt -r 2560 1600 60
# 2560x1600 59.97 Hz (CVT 4.10MA-R) hsync: 98.71 kHz; pclk: 268.50 MHz
Modeline "2560x1600R"  268.50  2560 2608 2640 2720  1600 1603 1609 1646 +hsync -vsync

Good luck.
