There are no errors in the logs, it seems that X is starting, but it just blanks teh screen and I see nothing... this is happening with teh grphical boot and the graphical login after boot... I have to turn all that off to use the system. I can't find any reference to a similar problem getting fixed... and it seems other Dell laptops with similar graphic cards/screens work fine. I will have ot reinstall FC1 I guess. ----------- I have a Dell laptop and upgrading to FC2 was a real pain. I just gave up and reformatted with FC2 and it somehow worked. Do you have an nVidia card or ATI? Jean Calixte jlc.bean@xxxxxxxxxxx
