As an aside - I wonder about the statement above.  This is an
excerpt from /var/log/Xorg.0.log on FC6 machine using
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 and Radeon X700 (PCIE) card:

(**) RADEON(0): RADEONModeInit()
1920x1200     193.16  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1242 (24,32) -H +V
1920x1200     193.16  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1242 (24,32) -H +V
(**) RADEON(0): Pitch = 15728880 bytes (virtualX = 1920, displayWidth = 1920)

so it is clearly an "urban legend" that fglrx is required to see
that resolution (although with some hardware/BIOS combinations that
may indeed be the case).

It is true that there is a line

        Option      "PanelSize"  "1920x1200"

in a "driver" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf but other than that
nothing special.
