When I boot Fedora-12-Alpha-KDE spin or Fedora 12 Alpha DVD, I get errors and only see a white screen when X starts. I tried booting in level 3, and startx, but It bombs out and returns me to shell. I tried to save the messages, but the machine locked up and was unable to get the error messages :(, Card was an integrated Nvidia 6150 on an Emachines E1161-05 http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=ET1161-05 At home I am running Fedora 11 with nvidia driver with no problems, but I try to install rawhide on another identical machine and I get that I cannot install it. I will try daily spins when I have a chance to see if I can install rawhide on it and keep testing from there :) Regards, Antonio -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
