Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Was this clean installation (i.e., there was no previous installation of Linux on the same hard disk) or did you upgrade/re-install? Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachment using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

1.) Yes, this was a new install. 2.) No, there wasn't a xorg.conf because it wasn't created. However, I included one from doing "X -configure". 3.) It wont run with it or with out it, also wont work with my xorg.conf from Fedora Core 6.
*** Bug 230700 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any other information I can provide for this?

(In reply to comment #8) > Created an attachment (id=150710) [edit] > Xorg.0.log Wow. I, hrm. So, if I hack the vesa driver to always fail the first VBEValidateModes, I still can't reproduce that. And I'm not sure why the backtrace is missing from the log there. Any chance you can start X from an ssh session into the box to see if there's additional output?
AFAIK, and from email, xorg-x11-drv-vesa 1.3.0-5 should be working here. Marking as RESOLVED, but please do reopen if this pops up again.
Please see bug #236416 which may be related. There the issue is that EDID coming from the BIOS is sometimes not read completely.
This is my report: I am using Lenovo Z61m with Ati mobility X1400 card. 1) It is not possible to install Fedora 7 on this laptop from iso images. Display is black. Only way is network upgrade from Fedora Core 6 with --exclude=xorg-x11-drv-vesa. 2 After upgrade from xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.2.1-4.fc6 to xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0.8.fc7 (from updates repository) it seems work fine, but it is not so stable with external CRC monitor.

And it is very unstable with Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Epiphany too.
See this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241491 There have been updates that should fix the vesa driver for you. Also, during the install you can drop out of X and edit your xorg.conf to have a display of 800x600 and X should startup.
