Update: I used the nomdeset kernel option and the laptop is now usable (add nomodeset to the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf). The laptop is still in runlevel 3 and I have to use startx to start X windows but it works. However, when I tried to logout of X, the laptop hung so all is not fixed. There are several bugs on RedHat's bugzilla that are tracking this or related issues. The one I posted to is 467821, reported by Dave Jones, 10/20/08. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467821 Hope all had a good turkey day and got out their Christmas/Holiday decorations! -- Wade Hampton -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
