Well I did a normal reboot (yesterday) and a cold reboot today and the
problem hadn't fixed itself. So I (with some difficulty) found the file,
attempted to edit it and found out I needed to be in root. Went into root,
editted it (with some difficulty). I believe I editted it under the
Monitor setting. I did a warm reboot, Fedora Core wouldn't start. It just
kept hanging during the boot-up sequence. I eventually gave up and had to
get rid of it (formatted the partition which caused problems with grub
that I eventually fixed). I'll be re-installing Fedora Core again later
tonight.

I won't be trying to edit that file again ;)

I spoke in the irc room and got some advice (small possibility problem
won't exist in KDE) which I can try, but as always I'd love to hear any
other advice other people might have :)
