Good luck with this Bob but if you listen you can hear the crickets.

For me  through three 'name brand' monitors Fedora has always suxed at
finding the correct monitor resolution. Windows and several other Linux
distrobutions do *not* have this problem. For me they find the
monitor(s) and setup just fine.

When the application named   system-config-display   was still available
it would allow the setting to be configured correctly. Since the wizards
at Fedora killed it that is no longer an option.
