what laptop are u using. I had the same prob of minimal screen size
with Kubuntu and I have Dell Inspiron and i think the card I have is
an i810. I had to google around a bit and found out that i had to
manually change the xorg file to support my screen.
Fedora Core 3 seems to have fixed this bug during the installer stage itself.
FYI this is what i had to paste/replace to get my screen to the full
1024x768 resolution
