Does anyone have an xorg.conf for a Dell 2405FPW (24" flat panel) which 
is running as the first of two monitors connected to an Nvidia GeForce 
6800 Ultra card? The other monitor happens to be a low quality NEC 17" 
flat panel, too.

I jsut got the Dell monitor (it is sensationally nice!) and would like 
to get it working in FC4. I made the mistake of not saving the original 
xorg.conf file before turning on the FC4 "Dual head" configuration, and 
now X won't even start for me.
