and you will be promted to install extension




click on install and after the installation is sucessfull restart firefox.

After restarting open pages with telugu fonts and wait till the page is loaded. Now you can view telugu fonts.(you may not view telugu font primarily so wait until the whole page is loaded)

I tried the plugin and i can view pages at Eenadu - Homepage with out any trouble

am not sure wheter this works for you or not but give it a try

if you could login to your system try pressing "ctrl" + "alt" + "+" and "ctrl" + "alt" + "-"

this will change your display resolution if this woun't work try this

after starting your system press ctrl+alt+f1

now you will get a command promt login there as root and now type

system-config-display --reconfig

to make default settings

[abhishek456]

if any of above is not working press ctrl+alt+f1 log in as root type

vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

press "i" this will bring vi to insert mode and under Section "Screen" under SubSection "Display" after EndSubSection add this

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection

if SubSection "Display" already exists change Modes to "800x600"
and now press "esc" and then type ":wq!" to exit. Now try logging back to gui mode by pressing ctrl+alt+f7
