Hi
Not sure that this is a cluless user problem, but I think I have detected a
slight problem in Red Hat 9 and do not know how to solve it in a elegant
manner.
Having changed monitors the machine boots as far as the black and white
login screen (the one that hangs there for a few seconds before one goes to the
fancy proper one) (The monitor works fine until then). The
monitor then goes blank and the lights on it flash.
Work Round. Change monitors to one that works, log in, and
select ones new monitor from the list (it is there) then reboot.
Problem is not everyone has a second monitor on the desk. Is there an
elegant solution to this problem, one really needs to start up in what
windows call safe mode mode, or if one is very quick can one use the black
and white login to get in in non graphic mode and alter ones config.
Changing subject I always thought that structured programing was partly a
method of presentation, and perhaps planning. Modularity is what we are
talking about, and I suppose that coding Object Oriantated code if done properly
makes one think more in modules, but good code should still combine the
data and the operations in one "function" and provide an interface, which is
modularity.
