The selections for some of the displays needs to be expanded (like using 
a file manager to open a directory to show the files). When you 
double-click one of the vendors or generic choices, you will see 
additional resolutions and difering card types per vendor. Then you can 
click on the OK button (forward, finish or whatever). These choices are 
when you choose system settings --> display. (system-config-display)

I use generic LCD display at 1024x768 myself. Without this choice, I 
could only get those very low resolutions.
