Redhat 9 Display settings

Grimo · 11-28-2003, 03:50 PM

I have just installed Redhat 9 Server and chose the wrong screen and display adapter information. Now when it starts up i am unable to read anything on the screen - it is a mess of colours and stripes.

My question is - how can i prevent redhat from starting up in graphical mode so that i can change the configuration?

Welcome to LQ.

Once it boots press "Ctrl + Alt + F1" then login as root and run:
init 3
this will take you to runlevel 3. You can hten setup your display with:
redhat-config-xf86config
then to get back to a gui:
init 5
