Generic not Genitic you idiot

Can someone help me ? I was trying to config a agp video card and selected a Genitic monitor rather that generic. Every thing boots normal till x starts then the screen blacks out. I can still login and password but I am blind. How can I get my Fedora core login screen back.

thats an oops i have heard people do before what you have to do is go into and reconfig your xorg file. how to get there im not sure for fedora but look at the link in my "profile" for fedora help and see if they tell you.

xorg.conf should be in '/etc/X11/'. If it's not there, the easiest is to find it yourself:

find / -name xorg* -print
