Ok this is a vary common monitor and is not that old in fact I know two people that just picked one up

 

Compaq 7550

 

It was in the list in FC3 but is not currently in the list for FC4 and it support higher then 1600x1200 res I know it supports atleast that but you get a error on the monitor when you tell FC4 to use a unknown monitor that supports 1600x1200

 

So I hope that support for this monitor gets added but I need some info from some useful people

 

  1. how do you get FC4 to boot to a command line

 

  1. how do you from that command line change the res settings

 

 

or does anyone have a better solution
