I have a Radeon 3650 with FC9 with X86_64  fully upto date and can only
get vesa mode to work.

Initially I tried connecting the 3650 via 15 pin VGA cable but couldn't
get it to sync with my Samsun SyncMaster 245B at resolution greater than
1024 x768 !

As soon as I switched to connecting vai a DVI cable the Radeon
aitomatically set the resolution to 1920x1200 and synchronised
perfectly.
Suggest connect via a DVI cable to use the full auto monitor setup via
DPMS
