Well, first of all, you probably want to put "radeon" driver up there instead of "ati". Second, the data about your PCI hardware, including the graphics card, is displayed by "lspci -v", which should confirm that you have an ATI Radeon graphics card. Third, you want to remove any extra hardware (like a KVM switch) from between the monitor and the computer, and connect the two directly. This will ensure that the EDID data from the monitor is being read properly, if possible. Fourth, you should tell us whether this was a clean install or an upgrade. If it was a clean install, you should send us the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (it may be large, maybe put it in a pastebin or something). This file can tell all the details about what is going wrong with automatic resolution detection and EDID readout. Fifth, if you did an upgrade from a previous Fedora version, there may be a lot of cruft left from a previous X (mis)configuration. In that case, you want to remove all custom drivers that you may have added before, rename /etc/xorg.conf.d/ to something else, and reboot the system to let it start with default automatic configuration. The automatic configuration usually Just Works, and is by far the best method for configuring X. Finally, please don't just copy-paste other people's xorg.conf files. This is just ignorant and wrong --- every hardware combination has a different configuration, and it is most likely that someone else's xorg.conf file will *not* work on your system. Or if it does, it may work suboptimally and create a lot of minor glitches all over the system.
