FC6 xorg display offset problem

I've just installed FC6. My 1680x1050 monitor seems to have been detected OK, and all works fine except that the display seems to be offset down and right by about 4 pixels. I can correct this by using the monitor controls, but as it's a dual boot machine I don't want to fiddle with it every time I flip between Linux and XP.

It worked OK with FC5.

I've had a look at xorg.conf, but compared with the config files of yore there hardly seems to be anything in it. According to the log, it seems to be probing the monitor and reporting it correctly. If I take the information returned in the log and use it as a basis for a modeline, what would I have to change to move the display up and left a few pixels?
