With regard to the "blank screen"...I'm assuming that is happening after the graphical boot sequence...the one that shows all the various service starting, etc. I'm running into the same issue, using an Nvidia card. It's not an indication that the system is frozen...it's that the system switched to TTY7, which is where the graphical environment is supposed to start. Instead, all I do is press ALT-F1 to get to the first console terminal, log in, run "sudo init 3" to bring the system to runlevel 3 (text only mode), then "sudo init 5 ; exit" to bring the system back to runlevel 5 (graphical mode) and then exit that particular shell. The system then comes up with the login for the GUI desktop. I do wonder if it has to do with the desktop environment selected. I run KDE (don't have Gnome installed)...which desktop environment are you using? -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
