I went back to grad school late and have been meaning to get smart with Linux to leverage it to run some molecular modeling software, but the last 5 years have been all experiments. A little over a year ago I bought a new machine and the network guy in our lab partition it to run both RedHat and Win2000. He's not a Linux guy though. Everything worked at installation, but since that time I switched from a CRT to flat panel monitor. Now the display is blank after login cause it was set to come up X-windows and drive the CRT--i.e. I need to reset the display parameters in XF86Config. (1) How do I tell the GRUB to bring up Linux in command line mode? (2) Anyone know the vertical and horizontal refresh rates for a BenQ FP791? I called their tech service line and only got the useful tidbit that it does work with Linux--even though they don't support Linux.
