used, just wondering how you turn it on?

In FC2 there was a video card config tool, I can't
seem to find it anymore.

In case it matters I have a radeon 7200.

redhat-config-xfree86 became system-config-display from FC2 along with all other redhat-config-* packages changed names to system-config-*
xfree86.conf became xorg.conf


Regarding the radeon 7200 card, be thankful it does not lockup on you. I had lockups with the radeon 7200 PCI card during the testing stage of FC3. I gave the card to someone who runs another OS who had a failure of his existing card. I quit tracking the card problems thereafter.

If system-config-display cannot setup graphics acceleration, it is probably due to the potential lockup of the 7200 during bootup.

You can check your /etc/xorg.conf for comparison with the FC2 xfree86.conf file to see anty differences.

If this is wrong, I have not used FC2 since FC3 came out. (probably since test versions came out)
