    Fill in the monitor characteristics by hand into /etc/X11/xorg.conf or
    give system-config-display a try.

       I did that. It still does not work. I know the Monitor vert/hort
       parameters and entered it, but it still will not recognize it.

       Note that I had to use the Fedora Rescue CD in order to modify
       the xorg.conf by hand. I note that FC4 does not use the script:
       'system-config-display' but instead uses a Python script. Will
       it still work? I am trying this now... and will let you know
       if it will work.
