[colug-432] Supported Video CentOS 6 #2

[Joshua Kramer]

This sounds like what was happening with my Netbook when I "upgraded" from
Fedora 14 to the beta of RedHat 6.  Even though the selector said that I
could get 1024x600, it was stuck at 800x600.

Unfortunately I can't provide any hints, because by the time SL6 rolled
around, it was fixed.
