I reset the video resolution on my G3 B&W tonight to a resolution that either the monitor or video card can't manage.
The screen went black and the tell-tale light on the monitor went from green to orange. I couldn't get the screen to display and after much frantic pressing of keys, I hit the power button, got the beep so I hit return to reboot. On reboot the screen sparks up on the grey screen, flashes and then displays the grey screen again. I don't see the Classic Mac icon - the screen goes black and the monitor light turns orange again. The same happens if I try to boot from a CD (holding down C on boot). Are there any key combinations in Mac OS 9.2.2. to hold down during the boot process to by-pass the 'default' settings and boot in the Mac equivalent of Windoze safe mode so that I can reset the vidoe settings?
