It seems more people have had this problem with the FC3 x86-64 distro. I had the same problem, screen flickering and hardly readable. But once you get past the initial media check everything seemed clear. Then once again, after the post install the screen seemed to lock up. To solve that problem: I first selected generic display (lcd or CTR) which ever if yours is not present. Second, after the post install and you machine reboots, edit grub to init 3 (multi user no X), run up2date. This will update past those initial X window bugs and your system should run great after that.

You need to know the resolution of your monitor to select a choice. Regarding the monitor not being identified automatically, it might be good to file a bugreport to get this monitor type added. I believe you submit some information file from the windows driver and the monitor might be added to the list and recognized in the future when the information is added in later releases.
