Re: Problems with X system

[Frank Turscak <ftokcfed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a similar problem woth my All in Wonder 7500VE and a HP S50 
Monitor.  The defauld settings for the monitor did not match the 
monitor's "official" specs.  After fixing them, everything has been 
woking fine. The driver for my card is "Radeon 7500" (It could have 
changed since my 'upgrade to squirrel in detox').  As to starting out in 
text mode, you can edit your grub - add init 5 at the end of the second 
line, I think.  Then you can change your config settings.  I forget 
which one.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm half asleep here.
