If you run system-config-display, you can try changing the color depth to
"thousands of colors" (if you have it set to "millions of colors").  Also,
take a look at the "Hardware" tab.  It's possible that your monitor was
detected incorrectly and that X thinks that your monitor *can't* do
anything higher than 800x600.
