    Hi ,

    The Monitor is set correctly and the on-board video chipset is picked up
    correctly as Nvida GForce4 MX (generic).

    (1) After running Yum, I could not boot at all. Screen freezes on bootup
    (2) Reinstalled original FC distribution
    (3) tried tp run system-config-display, the graphical mode crashes the
    machine
    (4) In non=graphical mode played around with some settings , although
    not 100% sure what to change
    Tried changing the screen resolution, but did not know the name of
    alternate drivers to try etc ...

    Any more suggestions, most welcome !

    Thanks in Advance

    Sounds like a video problem, driver or monitor. Try running
    system-config-display and make sure the right video card and monitor are
    selected and see if that works.

    If above doesn't work, try running the command "setup" and go to X
    configuration and see if you can do it there.
