Yes, > I'm a newbie but I know this shouldn't be this hard! ---- that seems odd - Fedora would normally set up 'run level 5' (GUI) can you login as root with root password and type 'startx' does that work? You may have a problem with the X startup... if you can't run startx as root - it would seem that setup is a problem...then try running 'system-config-display --reconfig' and see if you can reconfigure the display to a working condition. Once you are capable of running 'startx' as root, log off of 'X' and type 'init 5' Craig
