I was installing 9.1 on David's box while he was out. It has booted to the point of the blue wave, then it can't get the display up.
I tried going to init 3, then running XFdrake as root, the menu comes up, but I can't find any way to change any part of the configuration. I have to set it to a generic lcd screen.
I have to get this fixed before he gets home, or I'll be divorced <g> What do I do now?

If you are installing 9.1 with an LCD monitor, the appropriate driver for the video card may not be present. For instance, I have an Nvidia video card and a Viewsonic LCD; I had to download Nvidia's driver before I could get KDE to load onscreen.

Does it work with Knoppix? Maybe you could boot up with Knoppix and copy the resutling XF86Config-4 file to your new install.
