Do : ctrl-alt- F1 oor F2 to switch to a text console . Login and either run: redhat-config-xfree86 to create a new XF86Config or : vi /etc/X11/XF86Config , search the monitor section and change resolution (Do this only if you know the h/v sync values for your monitor. Alternatively: at bootprompt: init=/bin/bash will drop you to a single user root shell from which you can edit the XF86Config hope this helps, Dirk -- Dirk Westfal //Admin//RHCE/6.2//QB/DGQ mailto: root[/livelinux]@nwst.de livecd based on Redhat 9.0 : with luck and linux: www.linux4all.de / www.nwst.de livecd based on Fedora CORE : (soon ;-)
