low res video mode

I have been hoping someone will solve the video config problem on FC6.

The problem does NOT occur prior to FC6. Since then, it has random 
started in 800x600x24 mode (a useless mode), or my selected mode 
(greater than 1024x768x24).  Until this last yum update, the video would 
randomly choose one of the above modes.  But with this latest update, it 
will only come up in SVGA (useless mode).

The modes beyond 800x600 are not available so I am shut down, and forced 
to use this alternate host what is limited to 1024x768.

My host has the following:

AMD 2000+ CPU
1 GB of DDR DRAM
Nvidia 5200 video
19 inch KDS monitor

Does anyone know how you can modify the grub command, or the 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to select video res that is above 1024?

I would have written a BZ long ago, but I assume this is a common 
problem in the test community.
