I did as you said, removing xorg.conf and rebooted but it still selected
"nv" .
Um. How do you know? How are you checking what driver is in use?
I went into system-config-display and selected "nouveau"
but it only
allows me a resolution of 640x480 I want to setup at 1024x768 .
I edited xorg.conf and put in a line Modes "1024x768" but when I
reboot it takes that line out.
Don't use system-config-display. It's entirely deprecated, especially
for RandR 1.2-based drivers. Please remove xorg.conf entirely, don't run
system-config-display at all, and tell us what happens when you boot up.
