Has that old thing come back? I thought we got rid of that when EGA monitors came out in the bad old days. I recall malware which *deliberately* burnt out monochrome and CGA monitors. Supposedly, EGA monitors had built-in guards to prevent that. Perhaps a case of "Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat its mistakes."
The monitor was definitely working before the FC6 install, and definitely not afterward. During the install, the screen went blank and stopped responding to any signal (not just Linux).What is the bug#I did report this as a bug, #218416.
Hmm. Sounds like a defect in the *monitor*, not the *software*,
to me, and I'd have taken the monitor back and demanded a full
refund if I saw that warning. (Before I connected it to a computer.)
Just my $0.02 worth.

You have found the bank of Larn.
