Mandriva Linux 2006: Booting problem with Graphics
After a long interner search, I have fixed up the following problem (just before reading Glenn's response. Thanx Glenn!). I hope it is one of the best options for a linux idiot. It is given below for other linux idiots who face similar problems:
- Boot in falsesafe mode. It will directly take u root in text console.
- Type the following command
$mcc (then just press enter)
mcc stands for mandriva control center. The $mcc command will open an ncrurse based menu. Follow the following link on that menu:
display -> option -> no
thats all. It disables Xorg from starting automatically at booting. After this, rebot the system. Now it must boot in text console if there is no other problem.

Hi,
I installed, through my friend, Mandriva Linux 2006 in my Compaq Presario v6000 laptop. But graphics (kde) could not be made default at booting. So, after login, I use the command $startx to go to graphics mode.
But recently I have done a mistake. Through "configure your computer" (or something like that) in desktop mode, I set the option "boot with deault graphics" (or something like that) expecting it may work. But now the machine is unable to boot, it remains hanging in opening graphics. Can anybody suggest how I can disable this option of default graphics, so that I can use $startx as I was doing till yesterday. Well, I can go to text console through the "failure" mode option at booting.
Thanks
Dilip
