i've had this problem too on an old toshiba portege 2000 laptop. the screen settings weren't detected so it only offered 800x600 or 640x480 even though it knows the LCD panel is 1024x768. got this in the Xorg.0.log file: (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libddc.so (II) Module ddc: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.2.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 f000:36ec: 01 ILLEGAL EXTENDED X86 OPCODE! (II) TRIDENT(0): VESA VBE DDC not supported the tool is system-config-display and it just isn't installed by default anymore. (i can't guarantee it was installed by default on FC6) yum install system-config-display (or find it in 'add/remove software' if that's working today ;-)) it also installed xsri (whatever that is) on my system.
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.

Blah. Maybe we should force LVDS on for xpress200.
