(Oops, yep, I did mean runlevel 3.) That's what I've been doing for the past hour. Good thing they pay me the big bucks, I'd hate for this to be easy. ;-) Upshot is this: Fedora probes my (on-board) video card and identifies it as an "S3 ProSavage KN133." It is actually an "S3-VIA Twister K" according to s3graphics.com. I've been running system-config-display trying various settings. The only successful combination I've found so far is "generic 800x600" w/ "generic VGA display" and 256 colors. Still pretty much unusable :-] Googling around for this box, I see I'm in plenty of company in not being able to get X going on this laptop. The funny thing is, I had it working with RH9. Unfortunately I didn't save off the old conf file. :-( I wonder if RH9 had a driver for the S3 Twister that has since been dropped.
