Thanks for this useful information.

Follow it I resolved my video mode successfully.
Just use a intel 865patch without update BIOS.

My PC is DELL GX270 Series, BIOS Version is A02.

I believe you'll need the latest i865 driver from Intel.

I have a feeling you're using an Optiplex GX270 - if so, be sure to update to the latest BIOS (http://support.euro.dell.com) as there is a video memory bug in versions prior to A03.

I would advise that you download FC3 in a few days and upgrade your installation to that - updates to FC1 have been passed to the Fedora Legacy group and so security fixes etc are slower to come, if at all. You will save yourself the effort of having to mess with the drivers, among many other benefits.
