Is there a keystroke combination that will prompt the boot commands and allow me to skip the load X windows command?
(BTW, if I have posted this on a non-newbie list, I apoloogize and I will seek help elsewhere) After I have configured X and go to run it, my monitor goes blank and the green light on the monitor turns to a yellow light (no signal). No problem, reboot and run xf86config again until I get the setting correct, right? Wrong. Everytime I boot after I have killed my screen, the OS skips right over the prompt and goes right into the blank screen. Now I have no doubt that this is my fault and perhaps even the fault of my vid card and I can live with having to rectify it. But I don't want to reinstall the system each time I change the config! I don't even mind going in to the file and changing things manually, if only I could get to a command prompt before my screen goes black! There has got to be a keystroke combination that will prompt the boot commands and allow me to skip the load X windows command. Right...? Right.......?
