Yes, I followed Jim's steps, ran from level 3 typed "startx" when I got to a login prompt... and I got the screen in a wash of colour again. Drat!!

I don't know how to change the screen resolution from Grub, which was the other suggestion.

Is your suspicion that this is a ATI Radion 9200se problem or motherboard K8Vse Deluxe problem?

Other distros I was having problems with seem to been getting caught up on a usb line. So, when I disabled USB Legacy Support in bios, that cleared up those problems. But, this is the only distro that I'm getting this graphics issue, which sucks, since this is the only distro I actually want to use, which I reaffirmed last night after loading Mandrake 10 Official and discovering how much I actually missed Fedora.

As an aside, because the ethernet card is built in to the motherboard and is sometimes not recognized, what's the workaround for distros like Debian and SuSE ftp that do a net install, which is my other main install issue? Is it to simply plug in another ethernet card to the motherboard and that will be recognized?

In any case, my priority now is nailing down this Fedora graphics issue and, at minimum, and at least establishing if it's a graphics or motherboard issue.

I must say, I've had problems of some sort with every distro with this new AMD64 and K8V combo. Perhaps I should have gone with my second choice? The Intel P4 3.0 FSB800 & ASUS P4O800 Deluxe motherboard?

Thanks.
Rory
