This monitor is an LCD one, right? Did you configure X to use sub-pixel font 
rendering? Text doesn't look nice in LCD monitors without this. Anyway, 
according to your next paragraph, you may really not be using the native 
resolution of the monitor.

I think you should trust the information provided by your monitor :) Did you 
try to set the resolution using "Modes" in the Screen section of xorg.conf, 
instead of using "ModeLine"? Also, FYI, I have a notebook which uses intel 
945GM, but so far I have not been able to make it work using xorg i810 
driver, for xorg >= 6.9. It worked well in FC4 with xorg 6.8, but I can only 
use it with the VESA driver in FC5. Maybe you're experiencing a driver 
problem.

You'll certainly get better results with DVI.
