Thanks Kevan,
Yes, first thing I did is look for the repair an existing system option then
I tried the live install which works but I still don’t know what files to
'doctor' so the display works in the existing hdd installation.
I can get into a command window using ctrl-alt-f2 and then login as root.
But startx does not give any useful hints as to what I need to do fix this.
I'll run the Ubuntu disk check now, just in case, and then I'll have to give
up and re-install.
Thanks everyone for helping, W
Just for the hell of it, you don't happen to run any restricted or
custom display drivers for, say NVidia or ATI do you?
