As reported here, I've been having lots of grief with an old Dell
machine, running Fedora 14, which can't figure out the size of my
monitor. It has been unable to show any graphic display (or even finish
booting) for months now. (I have been able to ssh into it.)
Today I put the F14 live CD into it, and rebooted without even
taking it out from behind the KVM switch. It found the proper numbers for
the monitor (1680x1050 at 60 Hz) at once, by itself; the display looks
fine.
How do I now get these numbers into the hard drive, where my
install of regular F14 will find and use them??

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
