You are welcome :) What you could do... is to search bugzilla.redhat.com for any similar bug (on the exact same hardware as yours). If you can't find any similar looking bug, please: * boot with the drm.debug=15 parameter * open a new bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com * describe the problem (screenshots may help) * attach the following two files: /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log This would ensure that the problem is tracked.
