Hi,

Sorry for being so late with my reply but I was off work sick for the last few 
days.

I tried your suggestion.

I booted with nomodeset set and did a full update to the latest packages.

Linux bleisce2.csis.ul.ie 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 17 22:53:15 
UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I then rebooted with the latest kernel and nomodeset set and got 800x600 
resolution. 

I then rebooted with iommu=soft set and got a "mistuned TV" screen. You can 
see the login box in the background and you can actually login but the screen 
stays like a "mistuned TV"


Thanks, 

Tony
