On Fedora, goto the system menu (on the gnome desktop at least), then
preferences menu, and then Resolution. (It might be buried under a few
other options, but it's there somewhere, I have F7 here so I can't
check exactly).

Also, sometimes the resolution options might be restricted if the
correct display isn't set (i.e. what kind of monitor you're using).
You can change this by going to system, administration, and then
display. You can actually change the resolution from this dialog too,
but you'll want the hardware tab.

Hope this is useful, if not ask again :D
