Thanks for the information. Actually, I tried login after changing to text login using CTRL + ALT + F1 and it actually gives you a command prompt which is nice.
Its something thats bugged me for a while. I accidently pick the wrong resolution, and I get locked out of Red Hat because the gfx login screen fails. So this is something I think some Red Hat users can relate to and find useful.
Thanks again for the prompt reply (no pun intended)
