Boot by editing (e) the grub menu - and change the following boot options - remove 'rhgb' - add '3' (press 'enter' after the edit, and 'b' to boot with changes) Th machine should boot to runlevel 3 - which is console-only text-mode. Now as root, run 'system-config-display' and try selecting the correct monitor from the options. This should redo the /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the correct settings. Satish
