Do you configuration from there.
ALT-F7 should take you back to the X-windows screen when you're done.

At what point in the startup should I type Ctrl Alt F1? Once I get to the
terminal, what would I type to start changing my configuration? I know
nothing about commands. I am not an experienced UNIX user or anything of the
such. I am a disgruntled Windows user who jumped ship because Linux looked
good. I believe all that I really need, is how to get the monitor refresh
rate down. Once I cut that back to what it should be, X should be usable,
and from there I can handle it all.
