Bryan,

Have you tried manually putting 1280x853 in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (FC2)
file?  X may be smart enough to figure out the timing.  Also, verify
that the horizontal and vertical sync rates are appropriate for the
display.

Something like:

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1280x853"
        EndSubSection

Bob...

P.S.  Sorry if this appears twice on the list.
