Monitors don't need drivers. You just need to configure X properly.

If your system is correctly installed:

Chose the closest-- eg LCD 1280x1024
( most important is the resolution-- LCD screen should always be
operated at their fixed resultion. Unlike CRT you cannot adjust the beam
intensity, and you get bad jaggies or Moire if you are not at the proper
resolution.

Check that you have the proper driver for your graphics card. I have an
GeForce 6600 Nvidia card (non-3D), and the F12 installer picked the
nouveau driver for it. Works fine with my LG Flatron L1960TR-BF using
the DVI input.

On previous versions of Fedora I ran (6 & 9 64-bit), had to use the
proprietary Nvidia driver from the repository (instead of nv) to get the
monitor to work correctly. If you have an Nvidia based card, search for
kmod-nvidia. It's the metapackage that will assure the proper nvidia
module is installed for your kernel.

From a text console, without X running, do "Xorg -configure" then copy
the resulting xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

From there you can tweak /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a text editor to make
it work the way you want.
