The problem? *My* monitor does not identify itself properly. So is that Fedora's fault? Of my problem? I think it is the latter. At the very least they usually give you a viewable screen. The 'Evil God' Windows does not identify monitors. You get a viewable screen that you then setup using video drivers that you download and install by hand.
