The only trouble is the display settings for xwindows are not correct for the new monotor, and as a result, when I run startx, I get nothing but lots of moving horozontal lines. I found xorg.conf, but I'm not sure what changes I need to make there to get it up and running, or if that's even the right place. For refrence, the new monoter has a max res. of 800x600, and the old setting was for 1280x1024. The easy way is to log in as root, and run drakxconf. If you are set to boot into the GUI mode, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a command line interface login prompt. You can also get there by hitting the Esc key at the boot screen, and typing "linux 3" at the prompt.

I run a KVM switch, without problems, but my latest mdk version is 9.2. I do have a SuSe 9.1 install (2.6 kernel) on the switch and it is fine.

There are some darn knowledgeable folks on this list that should be able to expand on my suggestions. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] display problem with X
You may also use from 'lilo' prompt "linux 1", for single user; "linux 2", for multi user/wo network; or "linux 3", multi user/w network, leaving out the quotation marks. This will get you into a command line in 'Text' mode. don I thought I knew that I knew what I thought But now I know that what I thought I knew Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
