Grab:
ftp://ftp.redfish-solutions.com/pub/915resolution-0.5.2-2.i386.rpm
(or conversely, grab the .src rpm if you want).
This repackaging will create entries in /etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc.d/init.d/
to integrate a little better on RH/FC than the version you get from the
author.
Oh, and I've found that Dell makes LCD monitors that frequently have
slightly incorrect DDC parameters. To use a 2005FWP over VGA, for
instance, I had to use:
ModeLine "1680x1050 (Dell')" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059
1091
and not the:
ModeLine "1680x1050 (Dell)" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089
that the DDC reported (or else the top 3 scan lines would be off-screen).
I've had similar issues with a Dell 2405FPW.

Just an update:
I've taken 915resolution off my server... though I notice from the FTP
server logs people are still looking for it there.
Instead, go to:
Note, of course, that it's only built in i386... there is no x86_64 image.
