Monitor will not display more than 800x600 in FC6

After installing FC6 (everything worked fine on FC5), I cannot get configure the system to display at higher than 800x600 Resolution.
The monitor is a Packard Bell Maestro 190W.
Frustrated, I tried run the Xserver with the -configure switch. I'll paste the resultant xorg.conf file at the bottom of the message.

But when I tried to use it, the monitor was unable to display anything at those refresh rates.
I commented them out as the file suggests, and then I can again only connect at 800x600.

I tried changing the driver from ati to radeon - it makes no difference.
Which is the correct driver for Radeon Xpres 200G series?

Anyway, the monitor just says:

Mode not supported.

Can I put in my own moeline? If so, how do I calculate it?
