View Single Post - recover from bad display settings in Linux

I have a 1280x1024 LCD connected to my CentOS 4.3 x64 based system. It had been running at 1024x768, and I upped it to 1280x1024, and logged out as instructed.

In the past if things didn't work it would walk me through the low res way to fix it, but not this time... Just a blank screen with the monitor showing its no signal message.

That was in Gnome, and I was able to reboot and get in through KDE... and of course I tried to set it to 1280x1024 too, and then logged out... same problem. Laughing

Now I can't log in at all graphically, and have no idea how to fix this!

Any help?

Thanks! Bang Head
