This could possibly be a kernel or xorg-x11 issue.
Please retest with kernel-2.6.5-1.358 or newer. If it fails, please retest with the same version but i586 kernel. Report both test results here.
I tested with kernel-2.6.5.1.358.i686 this morning, but unfortunately I still get the same result. I will try the i586 version in the afternoon and I will post the results immediately.
I still have the same problem, even after I upgraded to Fedora Core 2 final. The only thing I could do is to edit grub.conf with the options acpi=off and apm=off. The display resumes properly now, but I don't want to lose all ACPI settings.
I am experiencing the same problem. Dell Latitude C610 1400x1050 LCD nVidia GeForce 2 Go Fedora Core 2 kernel-2.6.5-1.358 I've tried using the nvidia driver instead of nv but X doesn't even start up with it.
any improvement with teh 2.6.9 update kernel ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
