Ohhhh, So gonna love this. I got to the Nvidia installer window and it gave
me an error, something to do with the Kernal. The installation aborted and
I'm back at the command line. Restart X with the "gdm start" and I get this
message that X can't start due to a problem with the video driver, which
refered to the xorg.conf file. Opened the xorg.conf file using vi. The
sections for "Device", "Monitor", and "Screen" were changed. I swear I didn't
edit the file before. I was going to by a procedure I found on a website but
decided to do a little more digging and found that procedure wouldn't solve
my problem. I called it up in gedit once in read only mode to look at the
video sections. I made a backup copy of xorg.conf, at least I thought sure I
did, before I went and messed with the driver install, but I can't seem to
find it.

Is there a way to force a re-identify of my video card & monitor, or restore
the original video drivers, from the command line?

OR - I'm boned, inseret CD, install? :-)
