I've attached an old xorg.conf file of mine. If you take the
"Screen",
"Monitor" and possibly "ServerLayout" from that file and put them in
separate files or a single file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d xorg will read
those and configure itself accordingly. You will have the change the
horizsync and vertrefresh parameters to values for your monitor.

I copied all that into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, and commented out
most of it. Then I altered "Samsung" to "HP," and "SyncMaster
S20B300"
to "w2207h" and rebooted. That didn't suffice, even though I know that
Fedora's list of monitors has in fact included mine for several years.
So I'll start tinkering with the rest of the entries in that
section, starting with 1680x1050 screen resolution, and going on if
necessary from there. Many many thanks!
