You have a nVidia graphics card, which is not (yet) recognized by the Fedora's 
native (nouveau) driver. It will become better in the (near/far/whenever) 
future, but for now you probably want to install the closed-source nVidia 
driver if you want to have resolution better than 1024x768.

You can do this by enabling the rpmfusion repository (google for rpmfusion and 
follow instructions on their website), and then by doing

  yum install kmod-nvidia

as root. After this is done, you should reboot and everyhting should become 
better automatically.

HTH, :-)
