I vaguely remember earlier in this thread you saying you had better 
resolution in RH or S.u.S.E. or something. I don't recall you mentioning 
what video chipset you have. It may be that you have something like an 
nVidia, and you're using the Free nv driver, when those other distros 
were using the proprietary nVidia driver. Or perhaps they were set to a 
lower color depth, allowing higher resolution?
