Thanks, worked fine. Logged-on as "root" (no password), and executed sax2 which worked just fine (recognised my Hyundai L90D monitor and adjusted refresh rate accordingly). But how do I regain the Gnome environment? Startx doesn't seem to work, and Ctrl-Alt-F7 just gives me a blank gray screen ..

The easiest method it to login as root, type:

init 3

to place the system in console mode (called "runlevel 3"). Execute sax, and then type:

init 5 && logout

to return the system to graphical mode ("runlevel 5") and log the root user out of the console. You will be returned to the desktop automatically.
