After installation using redhat-config-xfree86 the maximum resolution supported can be selected upto 1920x1440, I'm guessing this drop-down box doesn't really know the underlying hardware capabilities. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Dell Latitude L400 (ATI Rage Mobility) 2. Install, set resolution to 800x600 during install 3. Use redhat-config-xfree86 to change resolution to 1024x768 Actual Results: /etc/X11/XF86Config SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection User can set any resolution in redhat-config-xfree86; it is ignored.

This behaviour was also found on an Nvidia Geforce 2 card.
The behavior that you're seeing in the installer is most likely because the installer could not probe the LCD monitor. I suspect that if you picked "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1024x768" in the monitor list, you would have seen a resolution option for 1024x768.
Also, a workaround for this bug is to go into the monitor dialog in redhat-config-xfree86 and select the Generic Laptop Display 1024x768 monitor. That should allow the 1024x768 resolution setting to take place.
I am unable to reproduce this on my Compaq Presario 1700T, which has an ATI Rage Mobility video chipset. Closing as 'worksforme'
