Well, I have a question. Why was XFree86 replaced with Xorg? Is Xorg supposed to remove all the agony from setting up X? If this is the case, then I should give FC2 a try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 17:57:55 +0200 From: Hannes Mayer <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: REPOST: Installation worked from hard-disk, now X-Windows trouble To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <40B0CA03.3040705@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Tarek M.

Well, except the mozilla-unicode-x-crash bug which is already on the redhat, mozilla and xorg bugzilla's. I would try to install FC1 once again and see if any problems vanish. I ended up installing FC2 twice too, because during the rpm installation anaconda crashed and the installation didn't finish. When trying to resume the installation it complained about some boot-manager incompatibility and I ended up with similar X problems, so I reinstalled (formatted *all* partitions!) and it works!
