Something related.. 

I just tried preupgrade from F11 to F12/rawhide. It didn't go very
well.. when I restart the computer so that it boots to anaconda my VGA
monitor goes "Input Signal out of Range" and I can't see anything..

I rebooted again, and this time edited the "Upgrade to Rawhide" grub
entry and added "nomodeset" option.. that didn't work either, now the
display went blank, and the monitor didn't show _any_ signal.

F10 and F11 work perfectly well on this computer, without any manual
graphics configuration.

Hardware info:

# lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation E7221 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 05)

and gfx stuff from F11 kernel dmesg:

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

Any ideas/tips?
