I've installed F9 x86 on an hp 2133. But, as I expected, the graphical
interface is screwed up. (I had the same problem with the LiveCD). I've
tried passing the following options at boot (vesa skipddc vga=794) but a
weird somewhat blank screen always comes up and the system is locked (I
can't get to a console to try to fix X).
How can I boot just to a non-graphical system so I can get to a console?
I've asked repeatedly on this list for related info but so far no one
has responded. Please, I need some help!

OK, I tried adding "text" and that allows be to get to a text console.
Now all I have to do is get X working (it works fine using SUSE 10).

It's very weird. F9 appears to correctly identify the graphics card
(something like "chrome" by VIA). I changed this in xorg.conf to "vesa"
which I thought would be very generic but now the screen goes black when
I execute "startx".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just changed "vesa" to "vga" but there does not appear to be a "vga"
driver installed. I'm not sure what rpm to install.
