an experienced user like might know how to do this .. but not new
users ... therefore .. i'm suggesting the installation will set
maximum resolution for first time installation to 1024x768 and provide
the user the option to change the resolution later ...
afaicr, older fedora/redhat have a screen resolution test that require
user confirmaton on its first run .. but not the current installer ..
We now properly probe the monitor and should be coming up in its
native/best resolution. If you have a case where this isn't happening,
please file a bug against the X driver (xorg-x11-drv-*) and include
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
