Okay a bit more info :-
F17 Anaconda is running at the same descent resolution as F16.
On F18 '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' is reporting VESA.
I will try rolling an F19 ISO next just to rule out that its not a transient bug.
In parallel I will see if I can track down what is causing the problem.
Any pointers are welcome.

motherboard for half a decade or more, is that is was very well supported
in all OSes (Windows, Linux, Enterprise, consumer, recent, old…), and
didn't require the latest gamer os or an out-of-tree driver to work. From
a manufacturer POW it was a no-user-returns component.
