i fucked up my slackware too

(1/3) > >>

Master of Reality:
I installed slackware and for some reason i chose the framebuffer for the console... well it doesnt work, my screen is just blurry.
Is there a way to boot into slackware with the normal console and change it to normal console somehow??

voidmain:
Do you mean boot it into a run level other than 5 (not X)? If so you should be able to do "linux single" at the LILO prompt, edit your /etc/inittab to have an initdefault to 3.

Master of Reality:
no...  linux single still uses the framebuffer for the console. (and it already boots to init 3)

voidmain:
Ahh, I gotcha. I think that's controlled via kernel parameters. What does your lilo.conf look like? I'll do some Googlin'. Would it be controlled by the vga param? Search in progress....

Master of Reality:
hmmm... i could probly ssh into the computer after it starts up and switch it maybe.
