I added some repos (extra and nrpms) to get yum to update

installed 13 for deps.
A new kernel was one of the updates. (I'm not at home, so I can't
remember what kernel version).
Now, when I boot, FC4 comes up, ok. It makes it all the way to where
X would load and it hangs with vertical black and white lines.
Ctl-alt-del doesn't work, alt-f2 etc, doesn't work either.
Any ideas?
Not many, but could it be that something related to X was updated? Or is
this one of the cases where the X driver uses special kernel support
(possibly via a separate module) for the graphics card?
Maybe switching to the "vesa" driver for test purposes is a good idea.
Boot in single user or level 3, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in editor,
locate the Driver line and replace "mga" or whatever the Matrox driver
is called these days, with "vesa", save, then go to level 5...
I Will try to boot single tomrrow and troubleshoot further. It is
an SMP machine, Dell Precision 220 with a matrox, G450 or 550 card.
Thanks,
Ken
