Even when the 1st time I encountered this, actually I was on my VGA with KVM switch. Both LCD and VGA external produce white screen only. "nofb" option and "resolution=800x600" option already tried also. Then I proceed the installation with "linux text". But after the system is installed, it still cannot run the X properly. What annoys me also is that I also cannot access the virtual console, because the screen is either blank white or greenish. Only when I did Ctrl-Alt-Backpspace to stop X it becomes normal, but the only option left is just to reboot. I gave up and back to FC3.
