I have a laptop with a broken display and the display broke before
I could get the networking setup on it's Fedora core OS.
So if I just power it up and let Fedora boot, I can't get in
via the ethernet since it's not setup. And I can't read the display.

Just a suggestion, have you looked into doing a headless install on that
box?

I suppose I could try that but for now I don't want to wipe the
whole disk but just get on it to try and diagnose the video problem.


I'm a little confused. Is the display broken, or just not configured? Regardless, sudo su should give you a root shell in DSL.

broken, it shows random pixels it doesn't even show the bios
post test or "press DEL for Bios setup" screen so it's
not a problem with the X setup. Running the VGA port out
the back to a CRT gets the same result so it's not the
LCD.

Probably it's hopeless and the video hardware on the motherboard
is bad but I'd like to see if dmesg says anything useful.
I had some luck with Puppy linux 2.13, I was able to install openssh
configure a user/password, and configure it to boot up, launch sshd,
get a IP from dhcp and go to the desktop. So I should be able to
log onto it blind.
