On my dell inspiron 6400 laptop the intel graphics chipset needs a
hack to get it to work in 1680 by 1050 -

I added the modeline to xorg.conf as others have mentioned already.
I built the 915resolution tool from http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/
I added a line into rc.sysinit just before the echo "Initialising hardware" -
 /usr/sbin/915resolution 32 1680 1050 > /dev/null 2>&1

I'm using centos 4.3 rather than FC, but I expect they are very similar.
