A friend has RH 6.0. One thing RH has done, which I'm not sure I like, is to
start out with a graphical login screen. That means if the X configuration gets
messed up you can't get in to fix it. Their XWindows were at 640x480 by default
and they wanted to change that. I know you can toggle through resoulution
settings but I can't remember how. I had them run XF86Config, which was a
mistake. Now the X configuration is fouled up and they can't even log on.
How can I get to a command prompt so that I can rerun XF86Config and fix the
problem?
What is the key sequence to toggle through resolution modes?
Any better suggestions?
TIA, GGK
