Try booting in single user mode, then run

system-config-display --reconfig

to fix your X setup.  If you don't know how to boot in single user mode:

1. Select your kernel from the grub display and hit "e".

2. Scroll down to the line that starts with "kernel" and hit "e" again.

3. Add " single" to the end of the line (yes, a space, then the word
"single") and hit ENTER.

4. Hit "b" to boot.

The system will boot up to a "#" root command prompt.  Run the
"system-config-display --reconfig" command at the "#" prompt.  When
you're done, type in "exit" at the "#" prompt and the system should
reboot back to GUI mode.


Thanks,
Yes did this. however apparently I don't have this utility. I am using
Fedora 1, would this be the problem?


IIRC, in FC1 this utility was called redhat-config-display.

That's correct. Under FC1 it's "redhat-config-display --reconfig". The OP didn't say which OS he was running. I assumed FC2/3.
