I'm a newcomer to Fedora 10 Live CD

[David Orman]

Pedro,

That was a bit harsh for a response, to somebody trying to help - whether or
not it resolved your issue. That said, see
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205360 - it seems to be a
common issue with some nVidia cards and the live cd. That was the first
result in Google. My laptop, for instance (Intel Graphics) does not require
any xorg.conf - and I believe this is an intended goal. Stuff like this
should just work without configuration necessary.

I checked the Fedora/RH bug tracker, and the first result was:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473301 . Different hardware
(although using 'nv' as well) and sounds like the same issue. I'd suggest
searching the bug reports for your exact issue, and if you find it to not be
a duplicate, submit a new bug report (attach X logs as well) so that it can
be (hopefully) resolved in future releases. I'm glad you found a temporary
work-around, there were some others posted in that first link if you'd like
to try.

Good luck,
David
