    Hi,
    I am new to Linux and I have Fedora Core 2 on my computer, a friend
    of mine installed it on my computer for me at his house. Umm... when
    he installed X Windows it was on a Viewsonic monitor.
            I got the box home and went to boot up and the monitor; which
    is a Samsung; it goes to sleep when it
            I am guessing that x windows needs to be changed and
    reconfigured, but I can not get into the system.
            I tried to login as root using the recovery CD but it I am not
    sure where to go after that... I figure that it has to be configured
    from the command line or a utility that runs from the command line.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Rick
