I have an ATI video card and when I boot it was going black. After playing with the config settings, I managed to get it to display the screen, but with really funky looking horizontal scan lines showing. However, I found that if I do a Fn-F7 (Font size setting), shrink the screen, and then resize it again, the screen displays perfectly until I reboot again. On Thu, 2005-07-07 at 10:56 -0700, Usman S.

Sometime I get this screen and sometime I get login screen 2. If X starts successfully, and I "do crtl-alt-f1", I see a blank screen with a green line at the top of monitor display. I can "do crtl-alt-f7" back and continue working, but console is not accessable. My machine dual boots (FC3 & FC4). In FC3 (all patches installed) I have no issue with the monitor. Selected monitor is Dell D1028L, 1600 X 1200, 60 Hz I have tried this (Dell D1028L) with FC4, with no success. In FC4 I also tried Dell 2001 FP Analog & digital without success.
