is there any problem with my machine settings....???

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

hey thanks for replying ,
u guys are relly helpful,

but i am very new to all these concepts .
i have to press ctrl+alt bksp while booting the machine right...??
& is the file is editable on the command prompt ...?? if no what
commands shud i use for editing & saving it...??
exactly what shud i edit in the file....??

plz reply....

OK... what you need to do is kill the X-server with the key-combination I
told you about and do that when your PC is already booted... if that doesn't
get you to a command prompt... try using a LiveCD like knoppix to mount your
HD and edit the file from there.

I said you should issue 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf', nano is a text edit so
that not a prompt anymore and then you should quit nano (saving first of
course) by hitting Ctrl-C (I think, but its marked anyway).

What you should add is these lines:

HorizSync xx-xxx
VertRefresh xx-xxx

under Section "Monitor"

and make sure you replace the x's by the refresh rates from your monitor's
manual.

If you're afraid... don't be, just try... that how I figured out these
things too... and for these kind of problems there's plenty of documentation
by just googling too.

Sincerely,

Stéphane

hey thanks for the reply,
appriciate it,

but it dosen't seems to work in my case,
I read the monitor mannual 2/3 times but nothing is mentioned as
default refresh rate .
also i tried adding those above line in xorg.conf file with diffrent
parameters but it dosen't work.
