life without system-config-display

How do I report that Fedora's Xorg does not support intermediate sweep rates for 1200x960 resolution (only have 85 and 60, whereas 70 is the best to use for sizing and centering the screen in the CRT)

Somewhere Xorg must get hardware information.

[craig at aspire-one ~]$ ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid
= 3177, errno = 11

and in a dialog - it just says that no driver was found and is pretty
