Well I followed the link to the thread below and read the whole thing. I followed both ways of getting my card to work. When I rebooted X did start and I was running at 1920x1200 however when I tried to do anything the machine locked but I still had mouse control. So I had to reboot. I was logged on as a user not as root. So when I rebooted I logged into X this time as root and I was at 800x600 resolution. When I went to check display settings it brought up the setting options then wouldn't allow me to choose anything or allow me to do anything just like before so I had to power cycle the machine. Any ideas? :) Thanks Mathew -----Original Message----- From: Hardy Merrill [mailto:hmerrill123@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 7:35 AM To: MSchwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases; Mathew S. Nowend Cc: 'For users of Fedora Core releases' Subject: Re: GeForce FX Go 5200 on a Inspiron 8600 running FC3 This has been hot topic of conversation for a while - if you search the archives for "NVidia" you'll see lots of threads. There are 2 workarounds that I'm familiar with - one involves removing "rhgb" from the kernel line in grub.conf, and the other involves "udev". Read this *whole* thread: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg02617.html I took the "rhgb" approach, but I'm going to try the "udev" approach myself next. Right now I have to boot into runlevel 3 and run "startx" at the command prompt. HTH.
