I just installed Fedora 3 Redhat linux on my laptop (ibm thinkpad a21p), however i think i set the resolution wrong during setup so when i boot for the first time the login screen is really messed up...
how do i change the resolution of it before it gets to it??
like the shell bootup part is fine..
just not the GUI part
well now that you are installing...........when in the preferences at the last part, where you set a standered user login name and passwd there is an option for screen resolution, and becouse most likly it didnt pickup a monitor type you will need to do what I said a few posts ago clicking the 'custom settings' or somthing like that above the resolution menu
