Jay, you may try booting into level 3, as soon as the boot menu appears selecting Fedora press an (a) to append add a 3 then become root user $ su - password: # and try the following # cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak # rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf -f # exit $ startx If X does not start you might need to press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to return to text mode level 3. Otherwise it might work. You can then try system-config-display to reconfigure your card(either onboard or the other one whichever will work for you). Report back if succeeded or failed so that others may help if my advice failed :) Regards, Antonio > > *(System Hardware Specs are at the end of this post).* > > What could be wrong?
