Questions for this: what video card? Video card is what came
with Dell Inspiron PC. do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (not
subdirectory) How would I find a file from that black F2 screen?

Next: you can't log back in (as you?), but can as root. Questions for
this: what's in /var/log/secure after you've tried?
Ctl_Alt+F2 from gnome screen (screenshot posted in thread) gives me
a login prompt on a text screen I assume. Can login as root there. Once
I rebooted from there with Clt+Alt+ Del and got a GUI and logged in.
When I closed it I was unable to log back in except with the Ctl+Alt+F2
keys and this gets me back to a black screen with a login prompt and
just the keyboard works.
Or /var/log/messages? what's in your username entry in /etc/password for
shell?
Have no way to find out what's in /var/log/messages or in username entry
in /etc/password for shell.
The only things I can enter are on the black screen where I log in as
root. Then have to write down the output, go to win7 and use email to
reply to you and then back to Centos if needed.
I can't even get a terminal screen to use for anything.
Appreciate the satire, I can do that but it is a waste of time.
<satire> Send me your physical address, and I'll see if I can scrape up
a blue book and pencil.... </satire> mark
