I just installed Fedora core 4 on a VIA mini-itx system and the
desktop is not running. It get as far as displaying a blue screen
and an hour glass for about 1 second then it goes white and then
nothing else happens.
I can switch to a terminal but the display is garbage, but it I blind
type in root and password I get a clear screen from which I was able
to look at the log files.
I can not find any error's in Xorg.0.log or dmesg.
xorg.conf look ok.
Any ideas as to where I can go from here.
here is dmesg, I can supply Xorg.0.log but it is fairly long
Regards
Philip Creevy
