After Bob's suggestion of "nofb" did nothing to change display locking behavior I described earlier, I tried to install FC2 this morning... and had worse results. The desktop locked up on me while I was in Disk Druid, trying to preserve my partitions. Well, at least I didn't have to experiment with various settings for 2-3 days to find out that I'm still SOL :) The most frustrating part of this is that I haven't had one iota of problems with FC3 installed with a 17" Dell LCD that I use at work... and the success with that upgrade was what led me to also try the upgrade at home. Preliminary Google searches have not helped me (yet), but I'd like to find out for sure if Fedora's problem with this is definitely the monitor, or the combination of certain monitors with certain graphics cards (I'm not that great with PC hardware... my background's with Sun and HP servers). Basically, I have no problems getting a new graphics card to resolve this issue, but getting a new monitor shouldn't be an option one should have to consider just to be able to use a newer version of an operating system, especially one that's ballpark a year old, and worked just fine with RH8 and RH9. I'm also open to suggestions for brands/models of graphics cards. I'd also really hate to go back to FreeBSD as a workstation, because I've gotten very comfortable with Linux over the past 3 years, both at work and at home. My home servers are still FreeBSD, and likely always will be, but I'd hate to switch my workstation back because of something that really shouldn't be an issue... I mean, it used to work, and now doesn't; why did that change? It's not like I'm talking about hardware that 10 years old... that's the part that gets me annoyed. Now, I just have to figure out where I put those RH9 cd's... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summer Brooks, WildHorse.com Staff I will choose a Path that's clear brooksj at wildhorse dot com I will choose Free Will
