Dear all,

I've tried to install my laptop after good experience I had with Fedora
Core 1, 2 and 3 with Fedora Core 4.

My laptop is Fujitsu Lifebook S4530 with Trident Cyberblade 9525.
The problem I had is that the console said that the X is started
successfully, but the screen is just displaying "all white" right after
the "x" cursor was started.

Anybody has the same experience? I am surprised since FC1,2,and 3 are
all OK without problem.
Right now temporarily I changed to installation to CentOS 4.0, since I
am not even able to change to virtual console due to the problem that
screen all goes white.

Thanks in advance,

TEITS.



Try hitting Fn-<whatever> to swap between the internal LCD and external monitor. It should make the screen render. As far as getting it to work completely.... good luck. I gave up and went back to FC3. You can try nofb as a kernel option and make sure it's set to a color depth of 16.

Alternatively stop using the trident driver and use the vesa driver at a color depth of 16.

You may also be limited to 800x600 for your res.

Best of luck to you!

Fritz
