Loging out leaves me at black screen

 Installed Fedora Core 2 on a freshly partitioned and
formatted disk over the weekend. It installed fine and
I was able to login and use it just fine. The problem
I'm having is that when I logout from either the KDE
or Gnome desktops the screen goes blank and I can't do
anything with it. I tried the Alt+Function keys to see
if I can get to another virtual terminal but get no
where. I have an ATI Rage 128 PCI video card and an
LCD monitor. I set the resolution to 1024 x 768 during
the install. This same machine was running FC1 just
fine before the install of FC2. As I said I can start
the machine, login to the system, and do what ever
without any problems until I try to logout to shutdown
or login as another user. After clicking on the logout
button the screen goes black and then after a couple
of seconds the mouse cursor disappears and then
nothing happens...
   I've tried different resolutions. I've tried
lowering color depth from millions of colors to
thousands. I also added the vga=0x317 switch to the
kernel line in the grub.conf file. It still works fine
for a while but after I've used the machine for
several hours it ends up hung at a black sreen after
logout.

Thanks
