Monitor died.  Have an old compaq presario, but when booting to FC5,
level 5, it only gets as far as clock, then goes black.  I need help to

I have to manually enter something when boot starts, right?
Tom

Append a "3" to the boot line in grub to boot into text mode (runlevel3).


Log in as root, then try:
system-config-display --reconfig

or:
Xorg -configure

HTH,

Thanks, Chris.  Now, when I turn the computer on, how do I get to grub?
