The Fedora installer, even test 3 of FC2, does not offer this resolution setting at install time.  Instead the display is run at 1024x768 with the hardware, I suppose, stretching the image to fill the screen.  Several suggestions I came across for using this resolution on other notebooks failed to work with the eMachines M2105.  Of course, eMachines was of absolutely no help.  The latest Knoppix also would not drive the screen at this resolution.

I have an hp, but it only displays 1024x786 max resolution.  However,
while I was browsing through the bios setup, I noticed there is a
resolution setting!  Maybe your bios has the same?
