I've BZ'ed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489987 Rough details: I connect my X200 at home with an old Mitsubishi LCD monitor, and at work with a newer HP LCD monitor. System boots fine with HP monitor and KMS (that is, plymouth displays properly and gdm/X "comes up" fine), but does not with Mistubishi LCD (plymouth displays properly, but the monitor immediately goes into "power save" mode and the screen turns black when gdm should be starting.). To make it "work", I need to add "nomodeset nopat" when booting with Mitsu. monitor. I believe the "nopat" was needed to make compiz not display the "white screen of indifference" (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486375). Believe various Xorg.0.log files are attached there. I'm eager to help here. Let me know what more I do.... tom -- Tom London -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
