I copied all that into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, and commented out
most of it. Then I altered "Samsung" to "HP," and "SyncMaster S20B300"
to "w2207h" and rebooted. That didn't suffice, even though I know that
Fedora's list of monitors has in fact included mine for several years.
So I'll start tinkering with the rest of the entries in that
section, starting with 1680x1050 screen resolution, and going on if
necessary from there. Many many thanks!
