After having fedora installed for a few days, I went and changed my screen resolution (in system tools? system settings?) and Now after restarting X, and logging in and out again I can no longer see anything on the screen. This goes for all users and even bootup too, I know fedora is working becasue I can get to the login screen (just can't see anything) and acutually login. So I'm guessing it's screen resolution as it Happend after changing it.
Using fedora core 2 ( tettnang )
Can anyone help (yes, I can get into windows which is also installed, which Is what I am on currently).
<CTRL><ALT><KP-> and <CTRL><ALT><KP+> will cycle you through any resolutions you have defined besides your current broken resolution.
If that doesn't work, you will need to boot to a non X init level, and edit your X config file, which will either be /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/XF86Config-4 (the -4 file will be used preferentially if it exists).
You need to look for Section "Screen", Subsection "Display", Modes. Comment out the existing line and enter something like:
Modes "800x600"
You might also have set a color depth your hardware can't handle, so you may need to change your "Depth" settings in the same section to something sane.
