[mythtv-users] Problems Running Headless MBE/FE with Fedora 15/Gnome 3

I recently upgraded my MBE/FE combo to Fedora 15 and am having 
problems running it headless. While it normally lives in my garage, I 
have the mythtv account autologin and gain access to the FE and 
desktop through VNC not to run video but to do various housekeeping 
tasks on the GUI. I have tried various xorg.conf configurations and 
either X will not load because it cannot find the right edid or when 
I can get X and Gnome to load and mythtv auto logs in, I get an error 
on the mythtv desktop that states "could not apply the stored 
configuration for monitors", "none of the selected modes were 
compatible with possible modes: CRTC 354: Trying mode..." and then a 
bunch of resolutions in the 50 to 57 Mhz range. The error messages 
interferes with my launching and running mythfrontend on the Gnome 
desktop. Listed below is my most recent /etc/X11/xorg.conf attempt 
with some of the last lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Any ideas would 
be most appreciated.
