Hi, All

I'm new to FC3. A friend installed it for me over the Memorial Day
weekend.  On several occasions over a 15-18 day time frame, when I came
upstairs to work on it, I found the screen frozen.  (Other times it was
fine.)  The only way I could get the system back was a reset or power down.
Then one night after work I came home to find the screen waiting on input
for the xorg.config program.  Since I didn't know how to handle it (then)
I quit out of it and did some Internet research.

After several attempts to solve this problem by modifying the xorg file, I
gave up, downloaded a new FC3 dvd and reloaded.  (Actually I DLed the FC4
dvd first, but it stops between the Linux boot and the first GUI page of
the install.  I tried Linux nofb acpi=off for both.

try typing in gibbrerish first - let it give you an error - and then type linux at the prompt. That works for some people.

Wow... I was skeptical but I'm now writing from the Linux side of my setup and FC4! I really like the layout too. And OOo 2.0 looks interesting.


Thanks!

Nancy
