Installed wrong Video card drivers. Now no gui on bootup
 
So i feel like an idiot :)
decided i wanted to try 3d desktop so i installed 3d support for nvidia graphics using the instructions on this webpage
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia

I Dont have nvidia i have ati :)
so needless to say i have to gui when i boot up

It shows the fedora loading bubble then a blinking cursor.

I can get to a virtual terminal

So how do i undo what i did
I just want to get it back to normal i dont need 3d support.

Edit your xorg.conf and change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "radeon" or Driver "radeonhd", whichever's appropriate.

I will give that a shot when i get home (am currently at work)
Last time i looked though i did not have an xorg.conf file...
