Dear Prashant,

What you see when booting into your window manager is that your monitor
cannot accept you refresh-rate... It is probably set too high... Normally
the monitor's refresh-rate should be detected by most distro's... however
for some reason fedora doesn't do this in your case.

What you could try is booting without an X-server or you could try hitting
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (two or three times if necessary). You can then get to
a command-prompt where you'd issue 'Xorg -configure' and after that 'nano
/etc/xorg.conf', you'll be editing a file with which you are able to set
your monitor's refresh-rate manually (horizontal and vertical, a manual of
your monitor is necessary to get these specs). I assumed Xorg, maybe you
have another X-server... but I think this should do the trick.


Sincerely,

Stéphane

I'm sorry... it's probably /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead of /etc/xorg.conf
