Broke X/Can't enter recovery mode without a(non-existent)root password

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello,I've been trying to get dual monitors working on my Thinkpad T40 with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000. I was using the default driver, and grandr had grayed out the "extend" option--I was stuck on "clone". Someone recommended trying the fglrx driver, so I installed it and rebooted. And was met with about 80% of my desktop wallpaper that had some random corruption. I tried fiddling around and eventually it changed to a super-corrupted, tiled version of the "Crunchbang Linux" splash screen. I believe this happened when I tried to switch to tty1."Well,&qu (HowTos)

Hi, Sir I do the many setting that I search in the Internet such as http://sensiblerationalization.blogs...ra-10-and.html but it will be fail to start the xwindow. The system shows the error ===============

I used envy to install the nVidia restricted driver on my laptop (running Hardy) in an attempt to get dual monitors working. When I rebooted with the system docked after installing the driver, I got a black screen. When I rebooted again with the laptop un-docked, everything works fine.

Just "permanently" switch to Ubuntu from Windows, largely due to python I think?

Everything works fine, but the issues with hardware drivers really really bother me:confused: and my current focus is on the graphic driver. So would anyone please suggest a way to do this?

Hi All,

I was wondering what is the best driver for the AMD Radeon HD 6620G. I am currently running 12.04. I am currently using whatever the default settings were when I installed Ubuntu (clean install). Things to be running okay, however, there are a few "buggy" issues. For example, when I log in, the screen is momentarily garbled, but it fixes itself within a few seconds.
