Hi!
My system: I have two HDD on which are installed separetly winxp and FC2 with their own MBR's. MotherBoard is ASUS P4BGV-MX-EAYZ with built in VGA i845. I have installed FC2 and have problems to boot directly into X. I get blank screen. However, if I first boot into winxp and then reboot into linux X works. This problem is only happening if machine was switched off for a couple of minutes and more. Another thing: if I boot to FC2 and choose "Interactive mode" then I can also boot into X without any problems. Is there anything to do (beside getting a new VGA card) to fix this because I am about to remove winxp and I do not want to boot with Interactive mode every day?
Regards, Sasa
This sounds like a problem that might be a good candidate for bugzilla. Are you booting into graphics mode? (With the flash screen and the blue login prompt.) Or are you booting into runlevel 3 (terminal prompt for login) and having to launch X using startx.
There might be bugs related to your problem in freedesk.org (xorg-x11). Below is a bug for problems with the 815 card. You might find a similar bug that is related to the 845 video card there.

https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/ should get you there with this blank screen when system is cold-booted.
I did have a problem with a black screen that seemed like the computer was locked up. The computer finally brought up the X screen after a long wait. Have you let the screen remain black, then check back a few minutes later?
