ok, tried on all my old CRT iMacs. I do the following: Quote: Originally Posted by twongkee drop to console (ctrl - option F1) ** this means once you boot up to a blank screen hit the 'ctrl' key, the 'option' key and the F1 key all at the same time. you'll be in a terminal window. **

Instead I get, upon saving the changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart the following error: "Starting GNOME Display Manager...
