Redhat 8.0 display problems
Ok, so here's the deal.
I had been running a Redhat 7.3 machine perfectly fine (Although for very little real purpose) and I decided to upgrade the HD and install 8.0 as it had just come out. I go through the install, and get to the display settings page, and I try to set the resolution to 1024x768, and it won't display, so I set it back to 800x600. After installing, I decided to try 1024x768 again, and when I booted up, the screen now goes blank just as it would switch to GUI mode. I can't seem to find out how to boot the system to text-based so I can reconfigure Xfree86 to work properly. Any help?
PS: When I selected the graphics card, I didn't remeber what was in the machine, and it auto-detected an ATI mach64, so I went with that. I later found, on opening the case, that this comp has an ATI Rage pro turbo (8 meg) in it, silly me. Might me related to why 1024x768 wasn't working in the first place...
Could somebody tell me how to force Linux into text-mode on bootup, temporarily? Maybe by changing something in the bootloader commands? (i'm using the GRUB bootloader
