Hi;
 yes the first thing I did was "yum -y upgrade", that did not fix it.
I checked and it was running the "vesa" driver.

I hooked up my old system (so I could read the screen).
Then ran "system-config-display".
I could then see the menu box for hardware -> configure.-> radeon.
Back to the broken box.

I changed that to "radeon" and now it's working.

I read on the net about "radeonhd" but there is not a choice for it.

thank you , and Bruno
