I startet to perform an update of an core 3 installation:
- My quite old monitor (NEC Multisync LCD 1700nx) still a "unknown monitor"
- the upgrade process did not touch the MBR as it was told
- upgrade did mostly work: desktop ok, but all the open office icons missing, desktop adopted to the new style / layout / menues
- while shutting down after finishing the installation a lot of warning messages: GTK ..... deprecated
- xorg seems to be quite slow. After logging in the Gnome splash screen is shown for a unusually long time ( > 1 minute)
some more serious problems:
- setfont complained about "input file: unrecognized characters at the end of file" (translation of the German message), but no obvious problem arised so far
- open office does not start (but crashes silently without any message)

Check on bugzilla if there's any entry about your monitor... If it doesnt exists , the normal way to request its adition to the distribution is making a bug report on the component hwdata. ( I'd suggest marking it as an RFE, since it isnt really a bug , but a missing feature) Important information are resolutions/frequencies and also the .inf file from the windows drivers as I recall (and as I've seen on those reports:) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139142 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=142439
