After running pup to update my FC5 installation, the following updates were installed: kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 (i686) xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.29.6-1.lvn5 kmod-fglrx-8.29.6-1.2.6.18_1.2200.fc5 (i686) After rebooting, when X was started, my laptop's screen went completely white (no messages, no nothing) and the system hung. Just like you, I tried rebooting into the previous kernel (2.6.17-1.2187) and had the same problem. I had to boot into single user mode and disable the ATI driver (ati-fglrx-config-display disable) in order to get things working again. Uninstalling and reinstalling the fglrx packages made no difference. No idea what the problem is. I'm just going to run unaccelerated until someone figures out a fix. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
