My KDS laptop does the exact opposite.  All text on the login screen is
printed with 3 inch tall letters.  The cause, in my case, is that the
monitor reports ridiculous physical display dimensions.  So I used a
ruler that measures in millimeters and measured the height and width of
the display.  In the Monitor section of xorg.conf you would add
something like "DisplaySize 406 325"

In FC1 redhat-config-xfree86 allowed you to manually set the display
dimensions.  For whatever reason advanced display options were removed
in FC2.
