Hi there,
After installing linux according to the documentation
/mit/bootkit/rhlinux/INSTRUCTIONS, on the Ctrl-Alt-F1 text screen there
appears a line saying "Use Ctrl-Alt-F7" to log in. However, it seems that
the Xconfigurator did not set things up well, so that via Ctrl-Alt-F7
appears on the monitor as a "input not supported" message, indicating that
the resolution is not suited for the monitor.
How do I get to the text console so that I can run xf86config myself? I
appreciate your earliest response. Thanks!
Richard
