Unless there was an unnoticed problem during install, re-installing is not going to make anything work differently. If a re-install does work differently, I'd be highly suspicious of having bad hardware (hard drive, power supply, main board). A repeated install should be just the same as the last time. You can test that a package is installed properly using the rpm command with the -V option (verify). See rpm's man file for more help on that, once you figure out which RPMs you want to check (if you do). On the other hand, an upgrade from an older Fedora release to a newer one, over the top, does often leave difficult problems. A lot of people find "fresh" installs onto an empty drive to have less hassles than doing upgrade installs. (Just covering both bases, trying to answer your "fresh reinstall" query, as I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.) You might need to select a specific (suitable) monitor during the display configuration, or it might just automatically pick a safe low resolution. I've suffered that problem. Intel drivers are usually installed, by default, when you install X. Likewise, for the other basic drivers. There is a chance that the system picked the newer "Intel" driver rather than one of the older various Intel chipset ones, a few people have said they had problems with the Intel one. Though I don't have it on mine, I don't remember where it comes from. *This* computer isn't using an Intel chipset (I have others that do), but the second following longish list shows the X drivers installed so they're *available* for use. In the middle of it are three packages that are for a group of Intel chipsets. When you configure the display, you might recognise those i810, etc., designations in the list. xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.2.0-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-i740-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.0.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm [root@bigblack log]# grep x11-drv /var/log/rpmpkgs xorg-x11-drv-acecad-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-aiptek-1.0.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-amd-0.0-9.20061016git.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-apm-1.1.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-ark-0.6.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-ast-0.81.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-calcomp-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-chips-1.1.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-cirrus-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-citron-2.2.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-cyrix-1.1.0-4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-digitaledge-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-dmc-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-dummy-0.2.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-dynapro-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-elographics-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-evdev-1.1.2-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.3.1-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-fpit-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-glint-1.1.1-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-hyperpen-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.2.0-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-i740-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.0.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-jamstudio-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-magellan-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-magictouch-1.0.0.5-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.6.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-microtouch-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.2.1-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-mutouch-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-neomagic-1.1.1-2.1.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-2.0.96-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nsc-2.8.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.0.96-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9639-2.lvn7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-palmax-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-penmount-1.1.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-rendition-4.1.3-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-s3-0.5.0-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-s3virge-1.9.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.1.2-3.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-siliconmotion-1.5.1-1.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-sis-0.9.3-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-sisusb-0.8.1-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-spaceorb-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-summa-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-tdfx-1.3.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-tek4957-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-trident-1.2.3-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-tseng-1.1.0-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-ur98-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-v4l-0.1.1-5.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-8.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-via-0.2.2-1.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-12.4.0-2.1.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-vmware-10.14.1-1.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-void-1.1.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-drv-voodoo-1.1.0-4.fc7.i386.rpm NB: On this list it's preferred if you do not top post, and remove anything from the prior message that doesn't need including in your replies (as I have done). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
