When I have video problems, I fall back to a Generic CRT or LCD with low resolution and Generic Video Card with a small amount of video ram (4MB or so). These should be options in system-config-display, which you can run from the command line. That should get your system useable enough to try googling for your video card and monitor to see if anyone else has expereienced the same problem. Can't give better advice than "poke at it until it submits" without more info. -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden
