I've a Dell SC420 and a Dell Ultrascan P991 screen (not recognized by the
FC3 installer).

I've set up the screen as "Generic CRT screen - 1280x1024 capable" during
install process and have the following in my xorg.conf (I can use the
1280x1024 resolution - hope this will help) :

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "Monitor0"
         VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
         ModelName    "Monitor 1280x1024"
         HorizSync    31.5 - 79.0
         VertRefresh  50.0 - 90.0
         Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "vesa"
         VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
         BoardName   "VESA driver (generic)"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"

                 Depth     16
                 Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
                 Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" 
"640x480"
         EndSubSection
EndSection
