Which drivers are you using, the default or the proprietary? What resolution does fedora say you are using? Use the system-config-display tool to check. It's under Main Menu > System Settings > Display. How did the resolution appear during the install?

How many colors does the Display settings program say you are using? If you are using the Thousands of colors (depth 16) you shold be able to use a higher resolution.
If you are using 1280x1024 your res should look normal unless you have a huge monitor.

Alternatively, you might wand to look into using the ati proprietary drivers
