This problem starts at the login screen, but the boot gui is ok. Here is the list of hardware: One video card is an Intell 82810 CGC that uses a Princeton LCD 17 inch monitor One video cards are ATI Technologies Inc #d Rage Pro AGP 1X/@X using a Princeton Ultra 74 One video cards are ATI Technologies Inc #d Rage Pro AGP 1X/@X using a Princeton Ultra 72 I have entered a bug report in Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178073 I have told the other FC4 users not to reboot their systems until this problem is resolved. Thanks again for trying to help!!!! Greg
