Whats your graphic card?

Nvidia's drivers as far as i know are NOT included in fc.So you have to mannually download/install them.
Try making an online update and there you will probably see on the bottom of the list of updates to install the Nvidia graphics driver.

Q: How do I enable 3D support for my ATI Radeon card in Fedora?
A: livna.org provides ATI driver RPMs that are designed especially for Fedora.

NOTE: If you have nVidia drivers installed, you must un-install them before installing these ATI drivers. (Thanks to Ajay for telling me this!)

Here's how to install them:

1. Make sure that you're using my yum configuration from the installing software question.
2. Open a Terminal.
3. Become root:

su -
4. Install the driver:

yum install kmod-fglrx
5. Shut down X:

init 3
6. Log in as root.
7. Enable the driver:

ati-fglrx-config-display enable
8. Restart X:

init 5

If you have an Intel motherboard, you will have to modify your xorg.conf file after installing the drivers:

1. Open a Terminal.
2. Become root:

su -
3. Open the xorg.conf file in a text editor:

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Find the line that looks like:

Driver "fglrx"
5. Add the following line right below it:

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
6. Save the file, and reboot your computer.
