Yup, I've had it working since I sent that email awhile ago. At the time 
I was wondering how / why the framebuffer was set the way it was. I'm 
actually sure who it was, but someone in another list fedora-devel I 
think made the comment about why it is sized like this to provide more 
memory for 3d,2d stuff... Its all good now. Though looking forward to 
re-sizeable xorg framebuffers in the future.
