[solution] I switched to 9.3

I installed a custom xorg.conf and now I have no pointer action. I'm not sure if the keyboard works but it appears to not. Apparently in this distro you can't do ctl-alt-f[1-6] to get a console to log into (so you can fix/disable your xorg.conf)?

How am I supposed to debug this thing?

I have a 1.6GHZ Powerbook aluminum 15"

TIA,

-Kevin

start up in single user mode, at the second yaboot prompt add a 1 the Linux partition you want to start, probably:

Code:

Linux 1

okay, thanks.

Any idea about why I can't use the ctl-alt-f[#] thing to switch consoles?
