Steve,

I don't need to fiddle the X configuration as Fedora Core 4 supports all 
Apple monitors including the 23 "out the box". I just select it from the 
System Settimgs/Display/Hardware with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. The 
desktop is fine but when I am running Myth the image is 'squished' 
vertically not hortizontally.
