That may be a bad idea. Did you try to declare it as "general LCD screen" (or a quite similar wording, second choice from the list if I remember correctly) and select the appropriate resolution here? > Every time I did the install, after the > system reboots I get a blank screen after I get the message please press I for > interactive boot.

Two things may be helpful: - inspect the file /var/log/DXorg.0.log - compare the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the correspondig file of your fedora 1 installation. - try system-config-display --reconfig, but save the current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to bak before doing so Good luck Peter
