I used just system-config-display and it brought up the panel with the 
odd size that the dam nvidia lets you use if you have not got its 5 or 6 
rpm files and figured out how to load them.

I got them all and then found out one will only work if I upgrade the 
kernel :-!
So decided this was just too much for a new F7 and I will wait until F8 
is available. Then I can FIGHT the dam nvidia for a good reason.

It appears that nvidia is very popular with mother board makers. Maybe 
cheap. But I got it fixed in this computer with just one rpm. And it has 
worked fine through 200 upgrades. If there is one rpm for F7-64 bit I 
would sure like to find it.
