I cant find either xorgcfg or xorgconfig or anything remotely similar. Are you sure these are installed in fc 3?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On Apr 4, 2005 2:46 PM, <b class="gmail_sendername">Larry K</b> <<a href="mailto:lunchtimelarry@gmail.com">lunchtimelarry@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks for the input.<br>

Re: modelines...wasn't aware I needed any. I don't think Jarod has any Modelines in his xorg.conf.

I don't see any modelines in this file, which could be causing<br>the problem. You can use xorgcfg and xorgconfig (/usr/X11R6/bin<br>probably) to autogenerate an xorg.conf file, which should give you<br>autodetected modelines.<br><br>You sould also compare your nvidia xorg file to your original working<br>file and see what has changed.
