K i changed some display propriteis and now the x sever wont start. How can I fix it? I have fedora core 2.

[the_unforgiven]

Are you able to get to the command-prompt?
It can be accessed using CTRL+ALT+F1.

Login as root and run redhat-config-xserver (or something like that)
I don't remember the exact command now.
It could be redhat-config-xfree86 or redhat-config-x as well.
Try them out..
Just type redhat-config-x and then hit tab. It should auto-complete.

none of those commands worked.

if you only changed the file once it will still be there with a ~ at the end
you could also try xf86config or xf86cfg

k im ethier doing something wrong or alll the commands you gave me are wrong. How do I just open the xorg.conf file to edit it. I know what is exactly wrong and how to fix it. Please help me.

Xconfigure

um still not working im just yping the commands like you told meto on each command you given me. It say -bash command not found
All I want to do is open the xorg.conf file and edit it. Is that possiable on ternimal Is there any easy way to disable dual moniter and just use 1 moniter in terimal, because thats whats keeping x sever from booting?

Ok, I forgot, FC2 has X.org server right? and not the XFree86 server....
The config file for X.org server is /etc/xorg.conf

Apart from that, I don't know whether FC2 ships with any configuration tool...

Edit:
After checking the package list from FC site, I think you can use system-config-display
But I'm not sure of it as I'm not running FC.

Um ok I did the system-config-display command and changed it to the right drivers but now when the x sever trys to boot the nvidia splash screen comes up on my frist moniter and frezes it normally comes on both displays.
