Re: Root password issue

Vincent,

Changing the root password is pretty easy. Simply do this:

At the boot loader screen, choose option 4 for single user mode.

Next when you get dropped to the shell prompt, type in:
# mount -o rw /
# passwd

You should be able to change the PW at that point, type "exit" when you 
are finished, to continue booting like normal.

As for video, what type of video card are you using? After you boot for 
the first time, the Xorg setup wizard should appear. If you choose 
1024x768 and click apply, does it work? Also, you may need to go to the 
advanced tab, and enter your own horz / vert refresh rates, if X isn't 
detecting them properly.
