Oh no - installing with nofb didn't work - the screen still gets completely screwed! It picked up the graphics as Intel 810 and searching around I found a two possible solutions: 1) run up2date 2) update my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add Option "noaccel" (apparently this can be removed after the first successful boot) Unfortunately I have a problem with both of these... If I boot in rescue mode, or in "linux single": 1) I cant find up2date anywhere 2) Under /etc I do not have an X11 directory! (I've got loads of others like selinux fonts, gtk-2.0 etc, but sure haven't got X11). So Im stumped... Can anyone help??? -----Original Message----- From: David Cary Hart [mailto:Fedora@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 February 2005 21:54 To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: RE: FW: Install problems Fedora Core 3 - Dell OptiPlex....

You are describing a boot from the installation CD. If that's the case then there is no "a" required. Just add nofb to the boot option in install (it's one of the screens). -- Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence Fight Spam: http://www.tqmcube.com/rbldnsd.htm Daily Updates: http://www.tqmcube.com/spam_trap.htm rsync -l tqmcube.com::spamlists -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
