This is very interesting.

I've been struggling with my Toshiba laptop with a WXGA 1280x800 display. I've seen several xorg.conf files all have issues so I've been trying to figure out the format myself.

My specific question is how do you determine how to write your own ModeLine? Do you have a reference to good documentation on how to make my own?

Hmmm...curious... I have an HP/COMPAQ nx7000 Laptop with a WUXGA 1689x1050 display. It has the ATI Mobil Radeon graphics set. Although FC3 didn't recognize the "W" modes on installation, I was able to simply add "1680x1050" to modes in the Display section of the xorg.conf file, and it worked fine. My xorg.conf file didn't have any "Mode" lines like were shown in the file Jason attached. Perhaps he upgraded from XFree to Xorg? I did a fresh install of FC3 on this system. Attached is my xorg.conf file.
