Setting display resolution not working

1920x1200... interestingly weird resolution.
Redhat's automatic configuration utilities tend to fail in stupid ways when you go beyond the bounds of what they're designed for. You'll probably have to do something manually.
Only post the relevant sections of huge config files. Trimmed:

Is this correct? LCDs don't *have* sync rates the way CRTs do, but you may need to adjust these values.
See what "man mga" says about supported resolutions. 1920 pixels wide shouldn't be too much for it to handle, but it might.
You may wish to download and compile gtf, then run it. I get the
Modeline "1920x120060.00" 193.16 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync
...so you may need to add that Modeline to your Modes section in your xorg.conf, like so:
Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes0" Modeline "1920x120060.00" # copy+paste EndSection
...and put the line UseModes "Modes0" ...into your Monitor section. HTH,
