Description of problem: When I boot on a LiveCD of Fedora 16, the screen is black, and there is no input signal. The screen then goes to standby. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 16. How reproducible: Just by booting a LiveCD. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot on a LiveCD (a recent version). 2. Choose an item on the boot screen (e.g., for UnetBootin : Boot Fedora 16). Actual results: There is a black screen. Expected results: The screen should be recognized and functional. Additional info: My screen is : Asus VH222D. This bug is reproducible on all releases of Linux distributions (after April 2010 for Ubuntu).
This bug persists with Fedora 17, and doesn't exist when I boot with Vesa (low graphics).
What sort of graphics hardware?
I'm using an APU (AMD APU A6-3650). I think the LiveCD wants to search a specific driver for this graphics hardware, but there is none. P.S. : After the installation, Fedora seems to use the basic graphics mode, without manipulation.
Please attach dmesg, also after updating f16 you should have a newer kernel that support your GPU.

Support ? This bug appears when I boot on a LiveCD. After the installation, it works. Do you mean that I will be able to use normal graphics?
