Fedora Users — Screen Resolution and Color Depth

I have an Averatec 5110H laptop with a 15" XGA TFT monitor and Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller . The screen has a max resolution of 1024x768 @ 16 million colors.

With the default install of Fedora C1, I only get a resolution of 640x480. However, I was able to get a 1024x768 resolution @ only 256 colors after installing the intel dripkg*.rpm, running X -configure from the command line, and replacing /etc/X11/XF86config with the new config file. When I startx and try to change the preferences to 16 million colors, it says I have to log out and restart X. When I do it goes back to 640x480. I don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong. I had the same problem trying Mandrake on this machine and was hoping the FC1 would hold the answers to my problems. I've also tried installing the 855patch*.rpm from http://projects.nudieman.com/500m/, but that didn't make any difference.

I know there must be others out there with the same problem. Has anyone out there encountered this and won?? My XF86config file is below, maybe someone can point out what I'm missing.

TIA for any help!
