In order to get more screen than 800x600, since the video card I'm
using isn't on the list, and neither is my monitor, I've downloaded
the NVIDIA "latest and greatest drivers" from nvidia.com
<http://nvidia.com>, except it won't install. It refuses to run in X
mode (unless I force it to, which it says is not recommended), but
wants to run in init level 3.
Problem is, I can't get to init level 3. If I run 'init 3' from a
root command line, it starts to go down, waits until I type something
(anything), then begins heading for init 3 and stops dead right after
starting anacron. The only way to revive it is to reboot.
If I run 'init 1' from a command line, it goes down to init level 1
just fine, so I fugred 'Great, now init 2' but it stops right after
starting the HAL daemon. It echoes keyboard input but does nothing
further at all. I have to reboot.
It's almost as if it's going to a console that isn't my (only)
terminal....
I tried to see how to tell grub to come up at init 3, but I can't find
that one either.
Help?
Please reply both on list AND directly to me, at least if you reply
today, because this subscription is currently set for digest (because
I get all the inidividual emails at work) - when I get the video set
up properly, I'll fix that....
boot to single (`linux single` at grub), then edit /etc/inittab, and
change the initdefault line to read
id:3:initdefault:
(it probably has 5 in there now), then reboot.
