Hi Debbie!
If it were me I would be doing the following:
1. Obtain the technical specifications on the monitor from the web.
2. Boot Linux (from CD) into rescue mode and print (or copy the monitor,
display sections) of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
3. Might be well to do a "man xorg.conf" on a working linux machine.
Anyway check specifically the resolution and horizonal and vertical
timeing to be within that which the monitor will be happy with. A
possible easier way may be to boot a Knoppix CD and copy what it comes
up with. Your monitor may well be in the list that Fedora has during
setup. I do not recall the setup utility name (perhaps Craig White has
provided this) but with the monitor info you may well be able to select
the best xorg.conf by selecting your specific monitor from the setup
facility.
All above done should eliminate X as a possible cause. It is my first
guess.
Good Hunting!

Thanks! That sound like the right file to check. I can compare it
against the FC5 installation on a different system that I have that uses
the same monitor. If there is an inexplicable difference, that would
probably be the cause. If the conf files match, then X is eliminated as
a source of the problem.
(The other system is also a 64-bit system. The on-board chipsets are
different, though.)
