What option are you booting with?

When does the error occur, after you root:toor?

[7ELEVEN]

i boot with the first option on the list. the error happens after i login as root

[dunnn]

try type : xorgconfig after log in (root / toor)
and then following set up .
Run startx at the end.
I learned from artchangle amael

Did you have any luck booting this media at all?
Did you check the md5sum ?
Have you tried another computer?
Have you tried to re-master the media?
Were you able to get a command prompt?

[7ELEVEN]

ok so i got it to work....


i re-burned the bt3 cd on a different pc using a different typ of cd-r and it loads right up...


umm how come bt3 doesnt ask me to login? you know like

login:root
password:toor

Ok, don't know if this will really help you guys but I got past this same error on my friends Averatec 3200 by doing the following:

Once you login type:

cd /etc/X11
nano xorg.conf

Then scroll down to the Section "Monitor" replace the entire section to make it look like this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 15-25, 30-50
VertRefresh 40-90
EndSection

Save the changes then run startx. Let me know if this helps you guys, and sorry about the crudeness of my post, pretty much a first timer. Any advice or criticism is greatly appreciated.

No offense but by putting the same info that you have for your monitor on other monitors could cause them to malfunction. And even break. Now most newer monitors have "self protection" mechanisms built in and won't allow this to happen but some do not.
The sync ranges are different for different monitors and each user should find this information through documentation and or the internet in order to avoid damage to their stuff.
For more info on getting a xorgconfig file setup I have done a tutorial one could have a look at it here (http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=10407).
It may be of some help. :)

Thanks, didn't know that I could break the monitor by using this, good thing it worked for me but definatly not good if it causes problems for someone else. I will definatly do research before posting again. Thanks archangel.amael

Hey its no problem.
Like I said most newer monitors (especially in the flat panel variety) will shutdown or not even allow a setting out side of its normal parameters. But again Not all monitors will do this sort of thing or have the capability to do such.:)

Yea, I have to edit my xorg.conf every boot on "The Box". For some reason xorg configures a bad refresh rate for cheap ass sceptor flat panels. So when I boot I get a over limit message on the screen then it blacks out. A quick pop over to a different run level and a vim edit and it's back up with a ctl,alt,backspace. No clue why it won't keep my xorg.conf settings though.

Yeah, if you don't mind me asking what is the proper way to change the xorg.conf file permanently so that I don't have to change it everytime. Will I have to install BT3 to my HDD or can I change the ISO in someway? Or is this even possible?

There are several free programs, both for windows and linux, capable of picking apart a iso file and putting it back together.

What program can I use to change this xorg.conf file. I have tried SLAX Creator but I get an error everytime I try to mount the original BT3 ISO.
