Re: monitor probs

["Alex Izmirlian" <alex_ki hotmail com>]

If using the Ctrl-Alt-F(keys) doesn't work, I tried the following when 
encountering a similar problem.
Restart Linux as a single user by typing "linux single" at the prompt, then 
run the Xconfigurator ( or "setup" if using rh7.3 ) and set your display and 
monitor options from there.

Good Luck

Alex
