Im having problem installing FC4, maybe someone can help. I have been using FC2 with no problems. I installed FC4 from a set of CDs from Linuxcd.org. Installation went OK, no problems. I prefer to boot to a text based 'console', then start the X system and KDE using 'startx'. Ive managed to do this on other systems, (RH7,RH9,FC2), by changing initdefault in inittab from 5 to 3 (or 2 in FC4, there is no network). When I attempt to return from KDE, however, instead of returning to a normal console screen (black with white text), the screen turns pink with a narrow green border! The keyboard apparently still functions as I can type 'halt' and the computer eventually halts even though no text is visable on the screen. Once halted, I can reboot using CTRL-ALT-DEL, and the black screen returns and everything appears normal. I tried installing twice with the same results. The install detected the monitor and graphics card correctly, nothing special here (Matrox G200). Has something changed between FC2 and FC4 to cause this behavior?
Have you got the updated xorg-x11* packages installed? # yum update xorg-x11\* Paul.
