During installatin I selected 1152x864, but this seems to be ignored, gdm and the regular desktop come up in 800x600.
During the install? There's nothing that sets resolution during the install itself... there's a screen in firstboot, is that where? Could you look in your X log to see if there are any errors with the config that are causing it to throw out higher resolutions?
Also please attach your xorg.conf and paste in the results of running as root kudzu -p -b ddc

Can you attach the generated xorg.conf also please
Is this still a problem?
I can try do do another fresh install tomorrow to check

What resolution choices are given running system-config-display --reconfig?
I get 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x960 1280x1024 1400x1050 1600x1200 1920x1440 with 800x600 being initially selected
If it's available to select there it should be available to select during firstboot. The resolution menu defaults to the current running resolution of x (firstboot), which in your case may be800x600. First update to latest rhpl and system-config-display in rawhide. Then set your display to 800x600 via system-config-display so we're as the default resolution. rm -f /etc/sysconfig/firstboot /sbin/chkconfig --add firstboot reboot into firstboot and choose 1152x864 does it set the resolution correctly?
Can you confirm if setting 1152x864 in firstboot works with either the above or with FC3 gold
I plan to punt this bug to FC5 unless I hear something fairly quickly
The x86_64 box that this occurred on has not shown and screen resolution problems in recent test installs. I recommend to just close this.
