Thank you and everyone else who responded to my original question. I managed to edit the file using mc (which, unfortunately is NOT installed by default). Mainly my request about editing the SF86Config, relates to it being overwritten whenever I tried installing the nVidia*.rpm, and editing the file via a gui app. For some reason, whenever I rebooted, the config file would get overwritten. (This was with the Phoebe 3 beta / RH 8.0.94). Now, I have installed via the NVIDIA~.run file, and according to comments in this thread I could have done the re-edit *before* logging out to runlevel3. I realised that I while I had vim installed, the rest on my system were GUI editors. (In a reare flash of brilliance on my part, I then thought of using Midnight Commander!) <G>.
