Hi Pete,
I have an Acer with the same resolution. Other than you, I already switched to FC6 which works like a charme here. From my xorg.conf you probably just want the metamodes lines. I'll post it in whole anyway ;-)

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").
