Fedora 12 Update - Lost Dual Monitor

The installation of Fedora-12 x86_64 was flawless ( great job folks ). I
install it on  my Acer Aspire 7520 ( nvidia 7000m ) that also has a 22" AOC
monitor attached.

I was able to set up everything the way I liked it ... then I made a big
mistake I ran "yum update" then "yum upgrade" and after a re-boot I lost the
second display and also th display configuration tool.  Too Bad as I really
liked the original look and fonts. Now I only have 1024x789  or less
available for my laptop screen ( normally 1400x900 ) and a fuzzy large font.


before the update I needed to add stuff like Subversion and Freemind that
went ok I guess but Skype was not able to be installed. I like to compile
some of my own stuff so the update added the binutils and stuff I needed.

Should  I wait for Fedora 13  x86_64 and re-install from scratch to recover
my dual monitors and  configuration tools ?

or is there another update or something I can do to recover ?

thanks

Phil
