It's been pretty good to me. What video cards are you using?
Aside from the one in my smolt profile, I've also attempted in
Parallels on a Mac, and I believe an embedded Nvidia chipset on an HP
machine, sorry, can't recall details more than this
It might be worth taking a look at how debian and ubuntu do it, with
dexconf and xdebconfigurator -
http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/8/xdebconfigurator.html
I'm still trying to figure out how dexconf, via xdebconfigurator I
believe, seems to more correctly configure X to use 1024x768 or larger
under qemu, wheras xorg by itself as is configured with f7/f8t2 only
comes up in 800x600, which looks pretty lame.
I don't know if getting xdebconfigurator to work on fedora is possible.
It looks like a conglomeration of various tools, none of which is
apparently yet so capable that debian/ubuntu feel it can be relied on
exclusively.
For instance, I suspect the -r option uses this read-edid tool, which I
was using on a mandrake livecd I built 6 years ago, to good effect.
If you want to try it out to see what it is capable of, I suggest just
burning and booting ubuntu-7.04, or perhaps a recent build of the
debian-gnome-livecd

Good luck,
