That's what I hate about red hat.. It appears that the new version of it doesn't allow for you to have the option to not automatically start the Xserver... Unfortunately, (I'm sure someone has a better idea) the only solution I have is to reinstall red hat.. :( -----Original Message----- From: Bob Pelletier <bpellet314@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 12:45:26 To:xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Screen Resolution Hi Jason. Thanks for responding. I did the alt-ctl-backspace and the screen flashed and went back to the LOGIN screen which is the first screen with print overlaying itself. For example RED HAT is sitting right on top of my Welcome to ...... Also tool bar is unreadable due to words too big. Any ideas. Thanks.

But for restarting the Xserver, it means to simply shutdown the Xserver, and putting in startx again.. IF you have access to the console, if not, you probably need to reboot... -----Original Message----- From: Bob Pelletier Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 11:56:33 To:xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Screen Resolution Hi.
