I tried system-config-display with the resulting message:
Trying with card: NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic) xconf.py: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :17.0.--display=:1: Fatal IO error 104 (Conenction reset by peer) on X server "17.0.
Maybe try switching to runlevel 3 first by running telinit 3 Log in and run the command again and see what happens.
