I just installed a Voodoo 3 3000 card in my comp and now the X Server won't start. How do I get Linux to install the card if I can't actually get into Linux?

use the command prompt 
Find specific video drivers for that card, or just use a standard 'vesa' driver until you can find one. Reconfigure X with the new driver (xorgconfig or xf86config), and configure your video modes/card from the database. Should be ok after that, methinks
