<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a lot of problems with Fedora Core 2
Test 3 on my Toshiba P15-S420 Laptop. I made a clean installation and when the
system first started it showed me a black screen. I changed the runlevel to 3
and it booted to text mode. The GUI loaded successfully after running startx. I
am using the generic vesa driver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now the problem is that I cannot log out or restart
the machine. Every time I try it just shows me a black screen after which I have
to remove the laptop battery to turn off the machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, sometimes there is a problem with
applications. Once in a while something happens to the system and the
applications wouldn't start. I can't start the terminal, text editors or any
other apps. The only things that still start are Mozilla and file
manager.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, NVIDIA drivers don't work either. They
compile and install fine, I edited xorg.conf file and after reboot it
showed me a black screen again so I switched back to vesa driver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My RedHat 9 installation was working fine and I
didn't have any of the above problems. However my sound didn't work and wireless
couldn't do dhcp. That's why I switched to Fedora Core 2 and the new 2.6.5
kernel.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
