[NTLUG:Discuss] I screwed up

Hello,

I installed RedHat 9.0 on my Gateway Solo 9550 laptop a few days ago. The 
other night I was reconfiguring the display settings. I noticed that the 
Install program hadn't recognized my LCD, so I told it what LCD I had, or at 
least which one I 'thought' I had. I told it I had a flat panel LCD capable 
of 1600x1200 and then I set the resolution to that. Apparently I was wrong 
and now when it boots up it comes to a blank screen, typical if the display 
settings are wrong. I don't know how to fix this particular problem in Linux. 
Upon boot-up there doesn't appear to be a way to prevent going into XWindows 
but rather go to a command prompt. Any help would be appriciated.

Will
