I have a Compaq Armada M700. I installed FC2 and it works fine. When I put it into the docking station and power up, it progresses to the point where X windows would normally start and freezes.
There seems no indication in the /var/log/messages or dmesg.
Any ideas?
I once had a Dell C600 with a similar problem. It wouldn't freeze, but it wouldn't display X on the monitor either. I added some lines to my XF86Config, in the Device section (I believe), and commented or uncommented them as needed.
Option "Output" "LCD" Option "Output" "CRT"
At some point I just nixed the port replicator and plugged the monitor directly in to the computer, and used the computer's "Fn + Video" toggle buttons.
I think that the C600 was using the "ati" driver. Try reading the man page for your video driver to see what its options are.
Best of luck,
