Re: Screen Resolution

[Bob Pelletier <bpellet314@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have reinstalled 3 times with 2 different sets of CDs. I am parttioning manually and each time the same results. Any suggestions on where my install is failing?

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.. :(

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.
