Seems like I saw this problem before with Core-2. Haven't used "system-config-display" since but manually edit the xorg.conf. We also use the 'nvidia' driver working with Core-3 in a 3-headed configuration.
After you rebooted and X failed, was the xorg.conf trying to use the 'nvidia' driver and not the 'nv' driver? Was the nvidia driver loaded (lsmod).

Hi,
This type of question is better suited to the general Fedora list:

I installed a fresh copy of FC3 on my machine. The
default nv drivers
work fine. But I can't get dual head working with
nv drivers by
editing xorg.conf. "system-config-display" does
not do any thing when
I select "Use dual head" and click ok. Then I
cancel to go out of the
screen.
So I do a init 3 install the NVidia drivers from
the site. Change
xorg.conf and then do a init 5 and my dual display
works fine. But
when I reboot the system it does not work.
I had exactly the same problem with an ATI Radeon X300 in dual head mode, normal X.org drivers. System-config-display exhibited the same symptoms - would not allow me to configure dual head. Like you I had to creat a suitable config file by hand.
With out the intial graphical part I can go upto the login screen and
then when X starts
it says that displays were found but non have a
usable configuration.
I don't see this problem. I had to disable RHGB or my system would just hang during the boot process. I think the hang was as RHGB tried to exit / GDM tried to start. Remote access via SSH still worked.
