    I had the same problem with my video card(nvidia tnt2) and monitor (some
    old gateway crystalscan). The only thing that solved it for me was
    installing redhat 9 and then updating to fedora core 1. Even when I
    selected the correct video card and monitor settings I had problems when
    I just installed Fedora core 1 but if I updated from redhat 9 which
    properly detected all my settings it worked fine.

    Good luck
