If so that's a known issue on some of the nvidia and intel chipsets on Fedora 11. I know the Fedora team are looking into that issue. If its the same problem your seeing I can dig out the bug reports for you.</blockquote><div> No if you don't type nomodeset you can't proceed since you can't actually distinguish the elements on the screen. It doesn't always look the same though. Sometimes you get a hint of the login box, sometimes just blue background and some other weird displays. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Peter </blockquote></div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
