Hi,

I have a Red Hat PC and have a slight problem.

I changed the driver of the video card and now for some reason when I try going inot the GUI of Red Hat, my monitor gets no signal.

So is there anyway to restore to the defaulfts settings without going into the GUI? And how do I get into the non GUI version of linux.

It depends on the version of Red Hat you are running...

Older versions of Red Hat used the Xconfigurator command, while newer versions had the command:

redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig

Make sure you are in runlevel 3 before messing with X settings...

To change to runlevel 3, login as root and run the comand:

init 3

Then run your X configuration tools...test your X setup by running:

startx

If everything comes up OK, then switch back to runlelvel 5 by typing:

init 5

Hope that helps

I'll try that. But what happens if that doesn't work?

Like I get into command from the boot loader by pressing c. Would this still work?

worst case scenario is that you won't get a graphical desktop.....you should still at the very least be able to access the command line.

I don't get anything!!!! Ok this is what happens.

I start up my computer and my Red Hat Linux boot loader comes on. I select Redhat and when the OS is loaded the screen goes black and the monitor tells me it's getting no signal from the computer. So I restart and go to the boot loader but this time I press C and I go into something and the command line is grub>. after I try to type in the command but I get the error of unrecognized command. What do I do????

help me??

Ok...you can boot into text mode by doing the following:

when the Red Hat boot loader starts up, highlight the kernel you want to boot from using your up and down arrow keys and press the "e" key once you've made your selection. You are now in edit mode.

Scroll down to the kernel line...press "e" again to edit....hit the spacebar and type the number 3 and press enter...then press "b" to boot.

This will boot you into runlevel 3...which is a functional Linux system without X running.

You should be able to log in and start experimenting with your X setup

Ok. I'll try that.
