Redhat login screen - resolution changes with any keystroke

Asked by k2eric in X-Windows Window Manager

Tags: ,

Hello,

I'm running Redhat 9.0 with the 2.4.20-19.9 kernel on a Toshiba Satellite. I just finished installing the latest X11R6.6 from x.org. Now, whenever I boot my machine and am presented with the GUI login, I can't enter my username. Whenever I hit a key, the screen resolution cycles between three settings. I have been able to successfully restart the server with Ctl-Alt-Backspace, but that didn't help. Otherwise, the screen looks fine and my mouse works with no problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance..
