Samething happens with F7 but I have a fix for it, go back to the old package that last worked, thanks to koji! Alright I got it working again with the old vesa package..... Fresh install of F7 live cd fails. Once, X bails 6 times or more and you can login with root (no passwd): # init 3 Add a mode line of 800x600 to xorg.conf # vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection # init 5 Get a terminal # yum install wget # wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-drv-vesa/1.3.0/5.fc7/i386/xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-5.fc7.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-5.fc7.i386.rpm http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=6413 What was the reason for adding the sync range hack? * Wed May 09 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax> 1.3.0-6 - Re-add the sync range hack. (#235066) * Tue Mar 20 2007 Adam Jackson < ajax> 1.3.0-5 - vesa-1.3.0-mode-heuristics.patch: If strict intersection of VBE and EDID modes leaves no modes remaining after validation, try again with just range and VBE checks. Replaces earlier range-hack and validmode patches.
I've got the same issue on my brother's Dell Inspirion E1505 laptop with ATI X1400 video. I can also verify that installing the older xorg vesa driver restores functionality.
