The CTRL-ALT3-F3 got me a basic black-and-white login prompt. I logged in as root, and
typed in "startx". I got a bunch of messages, ending with "Please also
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.".
I shut down. I booted up. I got ***no*** screen with the option to enter and edit bios.
I got ***no*** grub menu. But I got a bunch of long thick white lines in seemingly random
places, and of seemingly random length. I eventually got winter lake scene with a login
gui. I was able to log in as root, launch Thunderbird, and mail the Xorg log to myself.
Since I haven't yet done the post-upgrade tasks, I then shut down, and booted back
into windows-7, where I am now.
I did also see strange display behavior in windows this evening, but only within Firefox:
blocks of black.
The Xorg log is below, beneath the line of '='.
Is there a simple way to test the graphics card, either from Fedora or from windows-7?
Thank-you, Sam and Ed.
Bill.
