[fedora-virt] F12 virtual screen resolution

[Brendan Whelan]

Jerry, The /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that the Xorg program attempts to 
use a whole range of resolutions and rejects most of them as either "Bad 
mode clock/interface/doublescan" or "hsync out of range" the latter 
applied, for example, to "1024x768". Our target systems are Centos 5.3 
but I chose F12 as the base because I hoped that it would give me the 
best features, particularly a higher screen resolution for the guests.
