Hi,
My questions are: A) I need to change the video settings without the GUI as it is not available. How would I accomplish this? Is there a batch method I can use? B) Will changing them damage the monitor? (There are other production machines on this switch/monitor so I can't damage the monitor etc) C) After I change them, Is there a way I can test the GUI before changing the runlevel back to 5 and rebooting? (I don't want to reboot and find out it doesn't work)
Perhaps there is a procedure somewhere on this?
Use ctrl-alt-f1 to get to console one, login as root, type init 3 to stop X from running. Then type in sax2 to start the X configuration gui process. If this doesn't work try sax2 -l. When finished type init 5 to start X and login. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
