'If you want resolutions above 800*600, you will need to Change it from 
generic monitor, to generic 1024×768 Monitor (or whatever resolution you 
want), and then you will be able to select higher resolutions from the 
drop down list.'

So, apparently, I just need to change the monitor type.  To confirm, FC5 
is the first Fedora version to use modular X?  I'm running FC5.
