For that cases a VGA-Mode would came handie, but we don't have it yet.
Press CRTL+ALT+F1 to switch to the terminal 1.
Login with root and pw paldo.
enter this cmd:
Press I-key.
add this to the file in the end:
Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection |
You can replace 1280x1024 by any valid resolution of your screen.
Press ESC-key and write :wq to save the file.
Type to restart gdm.
Login as paldo with pw paldo.

You can also just try to use "vesa" instead of "radeon" (change xorg.conf), this usually works but you'll lose the acceleartion. |
