hi again.
I posted a day or two ago about my problems with trying to boot Fedora 
core 13 on a Dell vostro 3500.  With help from this mailing list i 
managed to get the system installed.

I tried to set my laptop to use a external monitor as well (dell), and 
had a very fuzzy output on the second (external) monitor. I installed 
nvidia-settings which asked me to install nvidia-config. Once i ran the 
nvidia.config everything went downhill from there. Now i cannot even 
boot my system (well i can get it to boot in single mode but thats about 
it).
I have tried running Xorg -configure to generate a new xconfig.con file 
but nothing seems to be working. My laptop still gets stuck while 
booting, unless i use  single mode.  I am kinda sure that its a problem 
with the nvidia drivers but have no idea on what to do next.

I am most grateful for any suggestions.
regards
khan
