I can run F9 only with an external (LCD) monitor attached to the VGA port. Very weird. This was after forcing it to boot into a text console. The xorg.conf showed that the openchrome driver was selected and used but will not work with the laptop's lcd display. I switched to the vesa driver (at least it works with the external monitor) but still the laptop's display is blank. I installed F8 from the LiveCD and other than setting acpi=off (not setting this didn't seem to hurt anything - just avoided an error message), everything works. So far, I don't have a clue why F8 works fine and F9 is so weird. F8 automatically selected vesa and works fine. F9 automatically selected openchrome (which would seem to be correct) but then can't display on the laptop's lcd panel. SLED SP1 and SP2 work as expected. I will also try a Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD. (F9's LiveCD had the same problems as the F9 x86 full DVD.) Also, at some point in trying things, F9 would come up with a display of "acceptable" vesa displays but none of the codes (vga=xxx) did any good. With F8 I'm not getting the best possible resolution (1280x768) but only getting 1024x768 probably due to using vesa. Overall, I prefer F8 over SLED SP2 (SP1, except for networking, had too many strange bugs, SP2 fixed these but screwed up networking a bit). I would of course prefer F9 to work with the laptop's display!!! Rick B. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
