Video x Problem Need Help. Solved .
« on: August 29, 2012, 10:01:32 PM »
I changed some perimeters in configure your video card. Now when i rebooted i get to " local  host login ". I try "StartX or Video. It then asks for a password. When i try to use my username password its says incorrect. The same if i try my root password ! How do i get into configure the graphics before login. Hope you get what i mean. Thanks in advance. Wayne. :'( Also does any one know what driver to use for a nvidia gtx560. It will also not enable all 3d effects ??? This is also a new, fresh install from the latest iso download kde full edition.

My memory came back to me ! "local host > login :Type "root" enter your root passwords > enter > XFdrake >Enter ". That opens up the video configuration tool to change some settings. Then reboot  and hopefully you will have a desktop to log into.














































Maybe helpful for others any way. Thanks, Wayne
