Release notes are for release specific information. Not general help. We did
provide a link to the note on 3rd party drivers from our release notes in FC5.
Seems that got missed out for FC6. I have added them back to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Xorg

However note that Fedora is a completely Free software system and we dont want
to encourage the use of proprietary drivers not to mention potential legal
issues with liability and non-gpl compatible drivers. 

Please do open a separate bug report against Xorg with detailed information on
the monitor resolution issue. In many cases, we can fix the drivers or the
hardware detection process to do the right thing by default. Thank you.
