Have you run yum update, to make sure your system is up to date? There
were problems with some code and I am not 100% sure if it was fixed
before FC2 final.

You may want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver by hand
from vesa to I believe radeon.

May I also suggest having a look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora+Core&component=redhat-config-xfree86&component=system-config-display&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=CLOSED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&Search=Search

This includes some closed bugs, but you may find some thing of help.

If you can't see any thing there it would be helpful to submit a bug
with as much info as possible, and then monitor it for changes, as you
will probably need to help the developer to resolve the trouble's.

After more investigation:
I originally did an update from FC1 to FC2. When I look for Xorg.conf
I don't have one and any changes I make with system-config-display are
applied to XF86conf. 

I am a bit confused now. What should I do to switch things over to
Xorg.conf? Just copy the file?
