I have a Dell Inspiron 8200, which has an NVIDIA video card. The laptop in standalone mode works fine. At home, I have a Sylvania F97 monitor which I use with a switchbox, and that worked fine when I originally installed Fedora Core 3. But at work, I have an emachines monitor, which my laptop did not detect correctly. I switched down to run level 3, ran setup in text mode, and was able to get my machine working with the emachines monitor. But now I have to do that every time I move back and forth from home to work. I am using xorg.conf, and I have installed the nvidia drivers from their site. Even copying my original xorg.conf back into place when I get home does not solve the problem. The only way I can get the monitor to work is to first run setup, then run startx to enter graphics mode. It seems to me that running setup does something other than change xorg.conf? Does anyone have any idea what is going on, and I how I can solve this problem? My goal, of course, is to not have to run setup to get my laptop to work with multiple monitors, one at work, one at home.

This problem was solved when I installed the new invidia drivers using yum.
