Hmm. Sounds like it could be this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239605
Have you tried putting "resolution=1680x1050" on the commandline when
you boot? (I think just need to hit 'Tab' to edit the boot line)

If that doesn't help, you might try downloading the latest Live image
from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ and see if that's any different.

Hope that helps,
