upgrading & display problem

	I've now done several upgrades from F10 to F11, all on machines 
where F10 was running happily. Three of them are behind the same KVM 
switch.

	Of the three, one is fine; one has a pale, washed-out display, 
but otherwise is fine; and one can't seem to get a clue to the fact that 
my monitor is 1680x1050, not 1400x1050 -- so a large part of the screen 
just sits there black, while everything displayed is crowded together.

	I have futzed and tinkered with system-config-display; I even 
went into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added the Modes line, telling it only 
1680x1050.

	I think I'm going to have to shut everything down, take the 
problem machine off the switch, and re-tinker with all three peripherals 
connected directly to it -- the way I quit having to do installs 
and upgrades three or four releases ago.

	Is there a less tedious way??

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
