Hi, all,
I installed a fresh copy of FC3 into my Dad's machine and everything worked fine. However, when I brought the machine to my Dad's place and plugged in his monitor (Acer 7154e), X crashes no matter what. I tried config xorg.conf with the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh, but it didn't even make any difference.

Thanks, Jon.
I did that yesterday already and no difference made.
When booting in to run level 3, log in as either a non privaliged user, or as
root and running "startx", if X still crashes you should get some output in the
terminal.
Also look through the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, as that will have some more information that may help us to help you.
