I *finally* found someone who solved and noted the solution to my
long-standing problem using fglrx drivers with FC6.
The solution: take out the vga= option in grub.conf.
I had added it to get more characters in the text console, and it
caused me to lose the X resolution! Sigh.
My system:
Dell Inspiron 6400 with 1680x1050 LCD, FC6, up-to-date at the moment.
