...just installed FC4 on my system.
The setup for the video card ( or maybe monitor ) is wrong, the display is
partially scrrambled and when I can manage to get a terminal window
the kbd is echo-ing.

How can I get the thing to start up in a text mode (Run level 3 maybe ?)

Once I get it up in text, what can I run to re-setup the Xserver and make corrections to
my video card setup ?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Mitch
