I hope this is the right list to raise this issue... if not point me in the right direction.
I have Fedora Core 6 and by default is choose i810 driver for X. With that driver I had no problem with laptop screen - but when I connected external 19" screen all hell broke loose :) to be a bit poetic. or more to the point: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238747
In my comment #8 you can see that I changed to intel driver, but even that still doesn't work like I expect.
I need my external monitor running at it's full resolution of 1280x1024 and desktop also at that resolution. I got desktop running with 1280x1024 but only on a 1024x768 screen resolution - I didn't know that that was even possible! So my deskop acts as with beryl with zoom plugin - I can see only portion on the desktop and the desktop pans as I move my mouse from one corner to the other.
I was feeling lucky and tried setting up dual screen setup via system-config-display - that turned to be a big mistake. I got config that wouldn't even work everytime. I got 2 video cards configured - one with intel and other with vesa driver ?!?
So please give me your insight on how to make X behave properly, just dont rtfm me, thank you. Del.icio.us links, url's and any other piece of info is greatly appreciated.
Do you have some concrete info regarding fc6+X+intel driver ?
I'll post any info you need about my hardware, logs, etc... just ask.
Thank you in advance, Valent.

The development list is for the development of Fedora only as has already been pointed out to you here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-July/msg00510.html
Try #fedora on IRC or the main fedora list. I also find linuxquestions.organd fedoraforum.org extremely helpful.

Sorry the but there are other topics that I see discused that also are in line with my quiestions.
I'm not asking this only from users POV but in order that devels see this as an option to make some suggestion how to make this easier and better in newer version of Fedora.
