Fedora - where is terminal at boot time??

[Dougal]

I recently installed Fedora - it seems like a nice interface and I want to experience the system before deciding whether I want to keep using it over my ever reliable Crunchbang, which gives me absolutely no grief whatsoever. However, it is nice to use an attractive interface now and again.
So, here's my problem - I opted to install the ATI drivers when alerted to the restricted ones by the pop-up. I took note of how to disable them again if there were problems with the display after reboot. There was a problem with the display (black screen) and I can't get the command entered at boot time because the only command line environment I have an option for is GRUB. Grib does not recognize any of the 'aticonfig --initial -f' command that ATI instructed me to use to get things back to normal. How do I do this? I prsume others have been there and will know how to guide me.
Cheers, look forward to getting this sorted out. Hopefully, without too much problem and then I want to overcome the next problem - getting the graphical interface to display better graphics. I want the eye candy that desktop effects give. I am hoping Fedora won't let me down here because I could simply continue to use Ubuntu which only gives one problem with the window resize delay. I can put up with this although it is a pest. Anyways, here I am ready and waiting for suggestions...

Just saw your other post of disappointment with Fedora. Missed this post before, but for at knowledge purpose, even if you're done with Fedora, you can boot to a console only environment by changing to runlevel 3. To do this, you just need to append 3 to the kernel boot line.

Thanks reed9. I will give it a go and see what happens.
