Screen Resolution in Fedora 13 on Intel i915 Chipset

Hello

I'm having an issue increasing my screen resolution in Fedora Core 13. The
only resolution options available to me in System>Preferences>Monitors are
1024x768, 800x600, 848x480, and 640x480.

>From xorg.0.log:

[ 71408.317] (II) intel(0): Printing probed modes for output VGA1
[ 71408.317] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x60.0   65.00  1024 1048 1184

800  480 489 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz)

I am certain the i915 chipset is capable of more modes than this, because I
had a much higher screen resolution at install. How come I'm not getting all
of the modes available on my video card?

This problem only started happening after I plugged my computer into my
HDTV- the screen resolution automatically adjusted to the new monitor, and
when I changed i tried to increase the screen resolution again, I had all of
the options that I should get but selecting one caused an error and my
screen resolution changed to what it is now (1024x768) and I have since been
unable to change it back.

Help!

Regards, Sam
