I recently installed Fedora 3, but can't get into GUI. It seems I have to
select a Generic VESA driver instead of the one installed by the OS. I know
about the /etc/inittab (id:5:initdefault: to: id:3:initdefault:) to get into
text mode at boot, but the problem is I cannot get in there to modify it if
there's no GUI. So, how can I login into text mode at boot so I can run #
system-config-display?
