Veridis,
It's hard to tell what's going on from your description, but it might be that Fedora didn't recognize your video card or monitor, so your booting into Run Level 3 (prompt). You want Run Level 5 (GUI) Try startx which probably won't work. If not your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file may need to be modified. Try running: su root and enter password then try system-config-display and tell us what happens -------------------- The Owls are not what they seem...

OK I'll try to elaborate, with the video card in (ATI Radeon HD 4670) I couldn't run any commands in the command line. Command/file not found on all commands system-config-display was one of the ones I tried, with the video card out I end up at the command line but can use startx. It boots to the desktop and basically runs fine except for the disk drive not playing DVDs which is just a small problem for me now. I'll run system-config-display without the video card and see what happens. Thanks

I've also noticed that when booting I get the error ata softreset failed. I haven't had an opportunity to do research on this error yet so I'm quite blind in this problem. I hope that can help diagnose the cause.

If you did then you need to install it. yum install system-config-display Now run it as root. Additional Note: Fedora 11 came out today!!!

I burned a live Fedora 11 disk and installed it on the computer. It cleared up the issues. I was aware that it was being released but needed to finish the build as soon as possible. Thanks
