You could try X -configure, that will dump a new temporary XF86Config file for you. I've used this on a number of occasions to create a new config for a new monitor that I did not want to probe. When doing that, be sure to copy all relevant other config bits and pieces to your new config file to make it permenant.

I'm sure there is probably a better way of doing it, but since I do not use X all that much, I have no other clues.

Could someone tell me what commands work from the command line to change the X display characteristics. I moved my home Linux box to work, and it won't boot now into X. I get an error and then an option to log in from a prompt. None of the redhat-... commands seem to work in FC2, unless I'm doing something wrong.
