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.
