Red hat and a toasted monitor.

[Hazmat]

So, i HAD a really nice monitor. It died today. (Moment of silence) now my problem is this: i was running at a really high resolution, which none of my other monitors can match. So, when i hook up one of my other monitors, it doesnt work cuz the set resolution is out of the monitors range. I cant lower the resolution, at the monitor wont display the OS.
I could change the resolution from the command line, i guess (if i can remember how,) but i have no idea how to get redhat to boot to the command line. It has always defaulted to KDE despite my repeated attempts to make it boot to the command line.

Thanks for your help,

Have you tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a text mode console?

press Ctrl+Alt+F1 at what point in the bootup?

thanks

Choose a text editor, edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and find the line beginning with "Modes" in a "Display" subsection. There you can specify what modes to use.

when ur GUI loads up press ctrl+alt+kp_plus or ctrl+alt+kp_minus

res goes up... res goes down....
