From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Description of problem: Everytime I try to start X, the screen goes to black, and flashes to a lighter black and then back, and I see nothing. After a while it completely freezes, and I am forced to reboot. This also happens when I try to run redhat-config-xfree86. I have had to switch to a text login, as it would hang when trying to bring the graphical login up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run X or redhat-config-xfree86, or try a grahpical login Actual Results: I had a black screen, and the computer didn't respond to anything. Expected Results: X or the X configuration was supposed to start Additional info: I have an Nvidia GF4 card, if that helps.
Hello?
mharris: Have you seen anything like this? Arilyn: Does the whole computer lock up? Does pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> kill the X server?
Yes, the entire computer locks up, and no, I can't kill the X server. The only thing I can do at that point is a cold reboot.

bfox: I haven't seen such a problem. What video driver is being used?
I just picked the NV GF4 one in the list during the install... nothing special.
