You can change run levels, as you mentioned, or just CTRL ALT F1 to get to a text console. Once you've got a command line that you can see, you can run: system-config-display --reconfig And reset your display preferences, trying out different modes until you get one that works. Setting different monitors types may help, too, as that can affect the scan rates X tries, even for the same resolutions (like having 800 x 600 at 65, 75, or 85 Hertz, for example). -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
