Why do you think you need to install FC4 again???? Boot the system into
runlevel 3 and modify/replace the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Start the system as you normally do, when the grub boot screen is displayed
hit any key. Select the Linux boot choice and press the 'e' key. Highlight
the line that begins with something like kernel /vmlinuz and press the 'e'
key again. At the end of the line add a space followed by the number three
(3). When done press the ''Enter' key followed by the 'b' key. When the
system is done booting log on as root and then type something like;

system-config-display --reconfigure
