    I'm running KDE on FC3 using a Dell 2005FPW at 1680x1050. The problem is
    that it _looks_ like its running at a much lower resolution. I know its a
    Linux (or xorg) problem because when I run the same resolution in Windows
    XP, it looks as expected: very small and sharp. Any ideas? Here is my
    relevant xorg.conf sections: 

    ---
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1680x1050"
        HorizSync    3.0 - 83.0
        VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
        ModeLine "1680x1050" 146.2 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -hsync
-vsync
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1680x1050"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Thanks for the help.
