I'm new to FC3. A friend installed it for me over the Memorial Day weekend. On several occasions over a 15-18 day time frame, when I came upstairs to work on it, I found the screen frozen. (Other times it was fine.) The only way I could get the system back was a reset or power down. Then one night after work I came home to find the screen waiting on input for the xorg.config program. Since I didn't know how to handle it (then) I quit out of it and did some Internet research.
After several attempts to solve this problem by modifying the xorg file, I gave up, downloaded a new FC3 dvd and reloaded. (Actually I DLed the FC4 dvd first, but it stops between the Linux boot and the first GUI page of the install. I tried Linux nofb acpi=off for both.
try typing in gibbrerish first - let it give you an error - and then type linux at the prompt. That works for some people.
Wow... I was skeptical but I'm now writing from the Linux side of my setup and FC4! I really like the layout too. And OOo 2.0 looks interesting.
Thanks!
