I did as you said, removing xorg.conf and rebooted but it still selected 
"nv" .

I went into system-config-display and selected "nouveau" but it only 
allows me a resolution of 640x480 I want to setup at 1024x768 .

I edited xorg.conf and put in a line   Modes    "1024x768" but when I 
reboot it takes that line out.
