I've a Dell SC420 and a Dell Ultrascan P991 screen (not recognized by the
FC3 installer).

I've set up the screen as "Generic CRT screen - 1280x1024 capable" during
install process and have the following in my xorg.conf (I can use the
1280x1024 resolution - hope this will help) :

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor 1280x1024"
        HorizSync    31.5 - 79.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 90.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "vesa"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "VESA driver (generic)"
EndSection

                Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24

If you can lead it to water and force it to drink, it isn't a horse.
