Sounds like you installed in text mode (on an SDTV?) and you need to log in as the root user with the password created during installation, then you can switch to a low-resolution GUI mode.

There are some tips for this here:

Thanks very helpful because now at least I can perform actions in the text but the code Xautoconfig isnt recognized so the farthest ive gotten is logging in as root and creating a user login but where do i go from here?


*oh and btw I do have a tv capable of 1080p but when i first tried to install one of the packaged apps was corrupt or something so I had to disable all but enlightenment
