Help!!! Need to fix GUI login!

[Jonathan Smith]

My first load of YDL had similar issues. Turned out to be an X issue. JUst let 
it sit there and flash until the system figures out it isn't working (took a 
few minutes on my 8600/300). Then rerun the X setup from the command line. 
The correct syntax for that was /usr/lig/yi/dexter.py I believe. Seems like 
it is hit and miss until you find something that works.
I have fought with X before and it always seems to be safest to start with a 
lower setting and push it up until you find the limit.

I tried looking around the threads for this problem, but saw nothing.

I booted up my Powerbook yesterday and it won't load the GUI login interface. 
 It gets stuck in a loop at the text interface and I can't break out of it 
(forcing me to do a hard reset).

I loaded in the rescue CD, but that just gets me to a prompt.  I can't even 
begin to figure out where to look to try to reset anything.

So right now, my Powerbook is unusable.  Please help!!!

Thanks,

Anthony
