Boot to run single user mode, mount your drives and re-run SaX to turn off
the 3D display.
At the fancy graphic when you boot up, hit the down arrow to stop the
timer and type
linux single
Once it's booted up, you need to mount your partitions {if you've got only
one, do something like this}
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /
This assumes that /dev/hda1 is your only partition, and that it gets
mounted to the root of your tree. If not, you can do this, once you've
booted up
cd /
cat ect/fstab
Then mount your partitions according to what your filesystem has. Bear in
mind that you will _HAVE_ to remount your / partition read-write using a
command something like the one I entered above {stick in your own
partition number, of course}, as single user mode mounts the partition
into read-only mode by default.
