Desktop Resolution

After installing Fedora, I set my resolution to 1024x768 in the setup, but the login prompt is off centered, and so is the Gnome desktop even though they are running at the correct resolution.

I know in the past with the nv drivers for nvidia in Xorg the desktops will be offset and you have to typically adjust the monitor settings to get the screen centered running Xvidtune.

Does Fedora use any type of front end to this or do I just run it from a terminal?

I got my settings for it in Xvidtune:
"1024x768" 94.50 1024 1092 1188 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync

How should I add these settings into xorg.conf? I have seen it put in corg.conf in different ways with different distros.

THANKS

P.S. Besides X how do you get the screen to stay centered for the GDM login screen, I don't remember, but will the Xvidtune settings put in xorg.conf do the trick?
