The current behaviour of X is to poll the hardware, and automatically select usable display modes according to what they claim their abilities to be (monitor and display adaptor). Then it automatically picks the highest it can manage. If you want a lower resolution, set it as a user preference (screen resolution option in the user preferences section of the Gnome menus). Some people have trouble with certain hardware producing bad answers when it's polled (e.g. not getting as a high a resolution mode as they want, despite the hardware actually supporting it; or getting modes that simply do not work), and find that they have to manually pick the right monitor type from the system Xorg configuration. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
