What most likely happens is that an old monitor does not supply any EDID data, or possibly faulty ones, and the current system relies on that information. If it is missing then some very conservative assumptions are made and you see what you see. Quite likely it is enough for you to provide a minimal /etc/X11/xorg.conf which in "Monitor" section will have HorizSync .... VertRefresh .... with correct values for your Viewsonic. That alone may bump a display higher than you care and you may end up with miniscule graphic elements and a nasty 60Hz refresh. Did you try yum install system-config-display At least with F11 this was still available, if not installed by default, and it will do that job as it has an access to hardware data for a long list of monitors.
