That is interesting. How did you discover that a higher resolution was
actually being used? If you do a CTL-alt-F1 and log in as root. And then
run system-config-display you don't see the higher resolution as a
choice?

On the other hand if the machine is running at a higher resolution and
you are happy with that resolution why do anything?
