What video card are you using?
You say the display is "larger". Try the command:
xrandr
See what devices are displayed. My Radeon card, in addition to the VGA,
also has a "phantom" monitor off the DVI port. If I disable the DVI
port (as I have nothing connected), X only uses the VGA port.
I'm suspecting that your oversize screen is set to 1360X768.

<sigh> Both the nice hardware browsers I used to (try to) use in

The entry about maximum is definitely wrong.

Much of that is over my head, but it helps. Thanks!
Fwiw, two other F8 machines behind the same KVM switch (Vastech 4-
port -- a Taiwanese generic, I believe) have no problem. I installed, as
usual, onto each machine with all peripherals connected directly, and
only put them back behind the switch when all installs (and immediate yum
updates) were complete.

Done. I'll log out and back in in a few minutes ...

Nope. You only have the VGA port active. That's good.
For some reason X isn't finding your monitor. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has
the following entries for my Acer1916W (at 1440X900):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1440x900"
DisplaySize 365 228
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 31.5 - 100.0
VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
