Linux trouble
TalkingOctopus:
I finally upgraded from Redhat 7 to Fedora core 3.
lucindrea:
try booting linux single from grub , that should get you to the command line and not X , from their you can change your default run mode to 3 insted of the 5 it's in now ... then when you want to run X just do a startx from the command line , if that locks up on you you should still be able to do a ctrl-alt-f1 , or f2 , f3 etc and get to command.
TalkingOctopus:
The problem is that when I go to the commandline, nothing is sent to my monitor. There must be some kind of problem between my videocard and whatever vga mode it is using. Nothing is locking up. It just that nothing is displayed on the monitor.
TalkingOctopus:
Well it turns out I can boot to x from grub by editing the load commmand. I added linux 5 to get back into x. However, linux 3 still does not work. Nothing is displayed :(.
lucindrea:
ah ok ... hmm , their are vga stuff you can put on the kernel line in grub for the command prompt .. just dont know them off hand and i'm at work ATM , if i work it out i'll post
