imho, it's not Fedora's fault or your's either. In the event that you used the wrong sync rates, most monitors since three or so years ago will present a screen asking you to lower or whatever your rates. Mine flashes a red warning box, and states that it cannot handle the rates. it might have been old hardware maybe? or perhaps magic smoke wanted out :( On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 22:02, Magtanggol Kalingasan wrote: > hi list, > > I don't know if its fedora's or my monitor's problem, my monitor was unprobed so i entered the Hsync and Vsync from the manual, the installation(fresh install) went smooth.

I was begining to navigate the menus when the monitor's view shrunk, then kapooooffff!!!!
