Two suggestions:

1.  Try the "DisplaySize" setting in xorg.conf:

Here's mine:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "Samsung SyncMaster 204T/204Ts/214T,SyncMaster Magic CX201Ts(Digital)"
         DisplaySize  1600 1200
	HorizSync    30.0 - 81.0
	VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

2.  Use the nouveau driver RPM from Richard Hughes's repo.  It has a patch
for RandR 1.2.  Which also needs to be enabled in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nouveau"
	Option	    "Randr12"
EndSection


Here's the URL for his repo:
