Red Hat Enterprise 5 display mode detection issue

Question

I have installed Red Hat on my HP 550 laptop and the display resolution does not fit my Laptop's display. My display works great with windows 7 and it is 1280 x 800 , once i enter in RedHat i see the screen like a box and does not fit the whole monitor of my laptop, I log in with root password and try to change X display settings but there is just one setting -- 1024x700 -- and I can not change it.

What can be the problem that causes this?

Kind regards,
