Default Problem with screen resolution

I recently purchased an LCD monitor - Samsung SyncMaster 732NW. I can get a resolution of 1440x900 in WinXP (my machine dual boots), but the maximum resolution I can get in FC 7 is 1280x1024 and display is distorted. But things are better in WinXP with resolution of 1440x900. How can i achieve a resolution of 1440x900 in FC 7?

This could not be a problem with gfx card, as I could achieve the resolution of 1440x900 with latest ubuntu live CD !

offtopic This is where I see Ubuntu beating Fedora hands down.Even to a n00b like me using Ubuntu was pretty much easy when compared to Fedora.
