Display problem

[Dusk-You-n-Me]

To start: I'm quite new to Linux. I have Fedora Core 5 installed and I changed the display to 1280X1024. I logged out and now I can't see anything, the monitor goes idle because it can't display at that rate. I rebooted and I can see the startup commands go by as the resolution is lower then, but once it gets past that it goes idle again.

After searching around I see I need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. When I start up I can get into GNU GRUB but I can't find or edit that file (because the kernel hasn't loaded, right?). So I'm pretty much screwed at this point. Is there anyway to edit that file? Or can I start up at the command line? Any help here is appreciated. Thanks.

Try:
1) pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 in non-usable graphics mode. It should take you to the 1st console.
2) starting up system in 3rd runlevel (you can do it from grub)

The Ctrl+Alt+F1 command worked and I was able to get to the command line. I edited the file and everything boots up correctly now. Thanks so much!
