I have a Sync master on Fedora 12
I remember having to ditch the "recommended driver" and install nvidia
so from the xorg.conf
more /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf
#
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
gives me res of 1680 x 1050 @ 16.7 million colors
