I recently switched monitors because my "good" monitor

changing the resolution. How can I run the configurator in NON GUI to
fix this? I don't know how to get to a command line... :-\ My fedora
goes to a GUI login. What do I do to get a command line and how do I fix
my resolution?
Do : ctrl-alt- F1 oor F2 to switch to a text console .
Login and either run:
redhat-config-xfree86 to create a new XF86Config
or :
vi /etc/X11/XF86Config , search the monitor section and change resolution
(Do this only if you know the h/v sync values for your monitor.
Alternatively:
at bootprompt:
init=/bin/bash
will drop you to a single user root shell from which you can edit the
XF86Config
hope this helps,
