Rep:
I'm trying to understand this, so please bare with me. You can boot up and login fine, then when you logout the screen goes blank? Or are you having trouble logging in at all?
good luck.
First, I set the resolution at 1280x???. It works fine and able to see everything. I then raised the resolution to 1600x????, logout to accept the change. However, the screen went blank or dark (not able to see anything).
The only thing that I able to see is booting details when I boot the system. When it gets to the login screen, everything is blank.
I know that I able to change the screen resolution in xorg.conf file in /etc/X11, but how can I access to that file with the command line?
Please be specific.
