Gene, I can't help with the other problems and all I can tell you about 
this one is I'm running 1600x1200 now (ViewSonic G220fb monitor and a 
Nvidia GeForce 3 video card) with the standard "nv" driver.  I had to 
tweak my monitor settings after installing FC6 so it's possible that 
something like the refresh rate changed which can cause wierdnesses.  
Also, check your System -> Administration -> Display and make sure 
everything was detected correctly.

Maybe after all the traffic generated by the Nvidia rant dies down 
someone else will have some help on your other issues.

Cheers,
Dave
