After it goes through all the daemon startups, it gives a screen with a lot of crazy colors across the top, and alt-F2 brings up a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The system will not respond to the keyboard other than to switch VTs. The only way to get the system to boot properly to graphical mode, that I have found, is to use the "nomodeset" boot parameter, but then it won't do anything better then 800x600. Even worse, it appears that the latest Linux version of the proprietary nvidia driver does not support this chip. It is listed as GT218 and not on the list of supported chips at the Nvidia web site. Trying to use this driver produces a message in Xorg.0.log that the NVIDIA chip could not be initialized. Has anyone actually gotten Fedora 13 with X to run properly on one of these things? Right now mine is a paperweight. I'd try Ubuntu but I have no reason to expect it would be any better; this doesn't really look like a Fedora-specific issue, although a workaround might be. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
