sorry if this has been spoken about before...
i have been playing around with this ONE problem for atleast 6 hours... and now i get to ask a question before i nuke my system for some damn reason...
well i play WOW... the frame rate wasnt that good in the old edition... but it worked... so... i thought... hay... something new... let's upgrade... and so i did... and so i WISH I DIDNT...
so the upgrade went according to plan... no problems...
then the reboot...
NO VIDEO... i get to the point where GDM should be loading but nothing... the screen flashes 3 times and then nothing... the system is frozen... HARD... nothing responds... except it will sleep... but ctl+alt+del does nothiing..... cant go into consol... nothing... just... nothing...
so i have had a fun time editing the X11 config file to no avail... btw... i heard someone talkin about booting into run level 3 for mint... how do i get there so i dont have to boot to Backtrack 2 to make changes...
so every thing i have tried gets me nowhere... i have tried finding the config file for vesa... doesnt work... tried loading old config files... doesnt work... i was able to get into mint ONE time... with a config file i found here in the forum that i wasnt able to find again and everything worked fine... and while there i d/l the new ati driver loaded and restarted... which broke everthing AGAIN... so... damn...
what to do... i cant but an image cause i only have ONE cd rom that im using to boot to... so? help... what do i do next!?!? i will be watch this tread till i get anwsers for the next 5 hours... PLEASE... Help!!!
