After performing a yum -y update yesterday, I rebooted and logged on as normal
user via command line like I normally do. When I entered startx all I got
was a blank screen. I then rebooted and logged in as root and again tried to
start X with the same results.
SOLUTION:
Rebooted and logged on as root. Ran system-config-display and found that the
update had caused a change in the display driver from my ATI Radeon 9200 to a
VESA driver which does not work with my video card and monitor.
Video card: ATI Radeon 9200 (RV280)
Monitor: Envision EN-7600 LCD (1024x768 @ 60Hz)
Kernel: 2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp
M/B: Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P
