Problem with NVidia card and dual display in FC 3

[Keith Milhouse]

Seems like I saw this problem before with Core-2. 
Haven't used "system-config-display" since but
manually edit the xorg.conf.  We also use the 'nvidia'
driver working with Core-3 in a 3-headed
configuration.

After you rebooted and X failed, was the xorg.conf
trying to use the 'nvidia' driver and not the 'nv'
driver?  Was the nvidia driver loaded (lsmod).
