This is a fresh installation on a MSI K9N2G Neo motherboard. I have both the VGA and HDMI connected to monitors. It doesn't seem to detect the NVidia 8200, so I figured I'd set it to use "nv" or "vesa" for now in xorg.conf... only I can't get there!
It appears that KDM is automatically trying to reset itself after about 5 seconds, and I can't Ctrl+Alt+Fx to get to a screen (since KDM restarts before I finish logging in). I finally was able to get a login prompt and try to sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop.... and it doesn't stop!
How the heck can I get it to stop? It only seems to show the text on the VGA output.

Before anyone asks, yes I read the sticky about black screen issues, and the DVI -> VGA adapter I have doesn't fit the motherboard. It doesn't have the little pins around the - and my adapter does.

Disregard, I thought I didn't have a recovery mode because my monitor was too slow to display it. If I hit esc anyway it then pops up.
