    Is this an ATI card using the radeon driver? If so, the
    current driver will utterly refuse to use user specified
    mode lines. I believer there is already an xorg bugzilla
    on this (and maybe even an upstream fix that hasn't made
    it to fedora updates yet).

Then use the user preferences to set resolution. It is a pain to dig it back out if you copy your home directory to different systems, but it works.

System/Preferences/Hardware/Resolution

Good Luck!
