Jerrud,
Thanks for the try but the images are so large that I cannot even find the
place to get into the console with.
Let me ask you how, when you installed you LM copy, did you have good
perfect matches with video card, monitor,, etc so that you were able to
easily slide into LM with no trouble at all?.
With me, I have a rather generic monitor and video card is not an
on-the-nose match and I have to guess around in the 'custom' section of
monitor setup what my monitor specs are. Well, I've guessed at about all of
them and my LM screen still comes up with these oversized images.
Okay, when I get into the op system after logging in, is there is keyboard
combination that will get me into console mode so that charachers can be
seen as pretty well normal-sized (like 640X480) and then I can bring up
XF86setup.
Don't know if that will help but I'd like to give that angle a try.
Richard.
