Personally, i am unclear why you put so much effort
into what
was already observed to be an ancient os version? are you making grade
points for maintaining bitrot? :-P
you knock yourself out to fix such a small issues only to find may
others may lurk.
more current FC version will undoubted work better.
you might get a different set of problems, but at least with current sw,
others are currently fighting those issues so you might get more
helpful responses.
you are aware the entire Linux X world has been redone in recent years?

I have found the drivers for Windows but not for Fedora. Where can I
access monitor drivers for Fedora?
With respect FC2 is very old indeed and you would be better off
installing an up to date version of Fedora which will likely have a
much better chance of driving your monitor - the current drivers will
be much more likely to work with your monitor directly from a more
recent install of Fedora.
Any reason you can't install F12?
Nowhere. Monitor drivers don't exist. The .ini file for Windows
isn't a driver either, just a configuration file that contains
info about the sync frequencies supported by the monitor.
Normally the data about monitor properties is read directly from
the monitor through the DDC protocol. What problems are you
having with the monitor?
I got the screen to work with the system by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
changing the Horizontal rates, the size of the screen and the Modes
for the screen. Unfortunately the display does not fit the monitor's
size, too tall and not wide enough. I did play with the dimensions
of the screen.
There may not be drivers for the monitors, but the various systems
have a knowledge of a list of monitors. The E2210H Dell is not listed
on the F2 system. That would be a good reason for an upgrade. I will
see if I can pull the system offline for an upgrade.
I don't understand why the Mode entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not
seem to have any relationship to the Modes shown in the System/
Display gui. I coded in 1920x1080 in xorg.conf. The Display gui
shows 1024xsomething and 1280x960. Why?
