I'm currently running Centos 8 off an SD card. It, unlike F32, lets me use my monitor's full 1440 x 900.
Both seem to use defaults and EDID, but F32 gets it wrong and saddles me with 640 x 480 when I can find the incantation to have it run at all. The configuration files and directories I can find are pretty much empty.
How do I add --configure to the Xorg command line? 'Tis my understanding that would generate a configuration file that I could port to F32.

Are you sure it isn't dropping to basic VGA or VESA driver because the video card isn't supported in Fedora? Can you change the resolution through the control panel or xrandr?

Not for sure. That said, Centos 8.2 is from earlier this year. IIRC it derives from F28. Also, when it runs badly, F#@ does not complain much. It seems to do what Centos 8 does, but somehow get the wrong answer.
What control panel?
No. 640 x 480 gets set as the maximum possible resolution. xrandr comes back with a no can do.

Apparently the thing to do is run Xorg --configure as root while an Xorg is already running. I found in in a Centos FAQ somewhere.

Live F33 Workstation boots from DVD and likes my monitor out of the box. Not sure what I did with my copy of F32. I'm just about ready to call it good. I'm pretty sure I won't want the straight copy of live to HD, so I'll need to find a different installer.
