How did you discover this? Trying it in a gnome desktop? :)

Don't do that. See:

(with screenshots even! :)
There is no need at all to make an xorg.conf, and as you have seen it
can cause problems moving forward.
And I cannot get my notebook to even go over 800x600 for the internal
display without using system-config-display to create a xorg.conf to get
higher resolution with FC12. How do I convince X to give me more
without the xorg.conf?
BTW, this is on an HP nc2400 that has a 12" display, but I have always
run it at 1024x768.
