try pressing ctrl-alt-F1, logging into a text console, and editing the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (using emacs should be fine-it has a no X mode), and removing the 1024x1??? line to 800x600. Then it should be all good :) Tim Wright Assistant Lecturer Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13
