Display Resolution problem

I installed Fedora Core 2 on a Dell dimension 3000. It has an i810 built-in graphics card, which gets recognized just fine. The display, however, remains stuck on a VERY low resolution (600x420), and, from the looks of things, 256 colors. I have been trying to edit it using both system-config-display, where I change the resolution and colors, and editing /etc/x11/xorg.conf. It seems to have NO effect on display resolution. Actually, when I change it to "Millions of Colors" (or 24 Depth) it does complain that my card cannot support that depth. But for depth, 16bit will be fine. I am sure the graphics card supports at least 1024x768, because Windows can run that on the same card. Any clues?
 
Yes, considering the documentation claims it is, and also if I remove it, the server won't start with an error being that that file is missing. It seems to need that file, just won't take the damn parameters from it :(
 
it actually looks pretty much identical if not completely identical. Fedora Core 2 switched to xorg because of some licensing issues I believe. Thing is, I can run it find on most other videocards. No issues with it anywhere other than this damn Dell Dimension 3000 box :(
