I made the screen too large and when I reboot it would not come up in X windows. I can use Ctrl-Alt F1 and get back to level 3 and login as root.

But I can't recall the name of the tool that lets you change X window settings. Does anyone recall the name?

Try:
system-config-display --reconfig


I used just system-config-display and it brought up the panel with the odd size that the dam nvidia lets you use if you have not got its 5 or 6 rpm files and figured out how to load them.

I got them all and then found out one will only work if I upgrade the kernel :-! So decided this was just too much for a new F7 and I will wait until F8 is available. Then I can FIGHT the dam nvidia for a good reason.

It appears that nvidia is very popular with mother board makers. Maybe cheap. But I got it fixed in this computer with just one rpm. And it has worked fine through 200 upgrades. If there is one rpm for F7-64 bit I would sure like to find it.
