Not if it has correctly identified your video card.  Assuming you are
running system-config-display, does it correctly identify your video
card?

How about the display?  In my experience, if it doesn't correctly
detect what your display device, it limits you to safe resolutions.
If it has detected your display as some generic device, go through the
selection process to manually set the display type.  If your exact
monitor is not listed, you may have to set it to something like
"Generic 1024x768" or whatever best fits your monitor.
