From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; DigExt; SV1) Description of problem: I have a Packard Bell 1010 monitor and a Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead video card. Both worked well under Red Hat Linux 8.0 with the following settings: 800x600 display, 60 Hz refresh, and 16-bit color depth. After installing Fedora Core 4 I now experience the following upon boot-up: - The Grub loader display is fine - The text display logging is fine - When the Fedora splash screen comes on however the display is ghosted. That is everything that is displayed, text, icons, etc. are displayed multiple times with images overlayed, producing a severe ghosting effect and rendering text unreadable. This effect continues after logging in. I was able to verify (barely) that the display settings were correct (i.e. the same as before). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. This requires Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead video card & Packard Bell 1010 monitor. 1. Boot Fedora Core 4 2. Press <Esc> to enter Grub loader. Observe clear display. Select Fedora OS 3. Observe clear text as startup progresses. 4. Observe garbled/ghosted display when Fedora splash screen appears. Actual Results: Display is ghosted with unreadable text. Expected Results: Clear display. Additional info:
