    Yes, FC4 does have the appropriate information about your Viewsonic
    monitor and can configure your monitor correctly, just use the
    system-config-display tool (from the console or xterm session type in;
    system-config-display). You can also set the resolution specs by hand
    editing the xorg.conf found in /etc/X11, sample sections below;

    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier "Monitor0"
            VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
            ModelName "ViewSonic PF790"
            HorizSync 30.0 - 97.0
            VertRefresh 50.0 - 180.0
            Option "dpms"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Screen0"
            Device "Videocard0"
            Monitor "Monitor0"
            DefaultDepth 24
            SubSection "Display"
                    Viewport 0 0
                    Depth 16
                    Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection
            SubSection "Display"
                    Viewport 0 0
                    Depth 24
                    Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection
    EndSection

    That's the only place that is appropriate, unless you expect to pay for
    private help.
