I may do that.  I've got a couple of things to try however.  I just 
installed F17 on that machine, but got the same problem when I tried 
installing Kubuntu on it.  I'm thinking of trying the F17 LiveCD and 
seeing if it works.  If it does I may try to create the xorg.conf file 
from the live image and trying that on the installed version.  Don't 
know if that is even possible, but it's worth a try.

I'm also trying a different monitor. The one I was using is almost a 
decade old, only goes to 1024X768 and suffers from the ridiculous EDID 
checksum bug.  Maybe a new monitor will do the trick. If not, bugzilla 
here I come.
