I recently bought a Dell 2005FPW WideScreen LCD monitor (16:10).
Although it's pretty easy to setup under Windows, I did spend some
time for getting it work under FC3. Here is my xorg.conf file, and
hope it can help. This configuration at least can boot up your
monitor, so you can adjust it by using xdvitune. On the other hand, if
you experience in trouble with mplayer or xine, you might need to
change the default depth to be 16bit or lower.
