I don't know how you can fix that if you can't, at some stage, get to see a display. I was lucky enough that once GRUB had finally booted up an OS, the OS did run at a suitable rate, and I could edit the configuration to change GRUB's resolution. In the /etc/default/grub file, I added this line: GRUB+AF8-GFXMODE+AD0-800x600 Then ran the +ACI-grub2-mkconfig+ACI command to regenerate the config file used at boot time. If it's X, itself, running at the wrong resolution, after GRUB has handed over, and if Xorg hadn't been crippled, years ago, you could have pressed CTRL ALT +- or - to change resolutions on the fly, until something worked. -- +AFs-tim+AEA-localhost +AH4AXQAk uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.2-4.fc17.x86+AF8-64 +ACM-1 SMP Wed Oct 17 02:43:21 UTC 2012 x86+AF8-64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
