[ale] new monitor

[Mike Murphy]

I have a 2001fp hooked up to an ATI x300, but I know it also works with 
my gForce mx4000 pci card too, so I'm willing to bet it should work with 
your fx5200 as well. Here's that monitor section from my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "Monitor0"
         VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
         ModelName    "Dell 2001FP (Digital)"
         DisplaySize  410        310
         HorizSync    31.0 - 80.0
         VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0
         Option      "dpms"
EndSection

and here's the accompanying screen definition:

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Videocard0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
         DefaultDepth     16
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
                 Modes    "1600x1200"
         EndSubSection
EndSection

In this case, anaconda (fedora) sensed it on its own, but it has worked 
just fine. I've also copied and pasted both stanzas into the x config on 
my dell D600.
