Hi Beartooth:
Okei, I solved it. I hooked up my old CRT and it processed the signals
- although the screen was messy.
I found out after some experimenting that the problem boiled down to the
resolution setting.
The F 9 setup offered two alternatives: 640 x 480 and 800 x 600.
640 x 480 produced a clear picture, 800 x 600 produced "out of range".
I guess 800 x 600 was the default setting when I fired up the PC
the first time.
On my invoice for the machine the screen is listed as 1680 x 1050,
but it seems that F 9 only has the 2 alternatives listed above.
Why this is so I don't know. On my old PC is running Fedora Core 5, and
when I hook up the new LCD (the 2 PC's share one screen, keyboard and
mouse via a KVM swith - very convenient) i get the 2 alternative
resolutions under F 5 as well.
Now, since we are talking I have another question:
I did install F 9 with both Gnome and KDE. Gnome is (as before) the
default, but I have not yet found out how to switch to KDE.
(I sort of like KDE, I have gotten used to it)
It used to be the login screen, but not any more, it seems. Linux
Format (where I got the F 9 DVD) does not mention anything about how to
switch, and that is (so far) the only F 9 documentation I have.

Hi Par. This is probably too obvious, but don't you have a bar at the bottom
of the login screen, with the language, and session option buttons?
Nigel.
That is what I was expecting, but the only options are:
Suspend, Restart, Shut Down, and none of these bring up any choice of
desktop environment (I have tried them all)
"Session" is not there - it was present in FC 5 though.
But it may be among the system settings, I'll keep looking.
