    I'm no expert on Fedora, but it sounds to me like a x/driver problem.

    What card have you, what drivers are you using and is your xorg.conf file set up correctly?

    make sure your vsync and hsync are correct in xorg.conf.
    If they are then a bad resolution shouldn't matter, it will just say no screens found when you try to startx.

    i'm very new to fedora
    but my wild guess would be as mentioned above - X configuration
    the installation usually auto-detects pretty ok
    did you double check that it detected the proper card and monitor?
    did you allow it to probe for the correct settings?
    Linux NVIDIA drivers don't have full support for 3D although i don't think that would be your prob NVIDIA do supply their own Linux drivers
    after that i don't have a clue...

    impressive list eh? ;)

    I wondered about that coz the computer I have Fedora loaded on has a NVIDIA card and it works ok as far as I can tell.

    however as my post stated (i'm very new to fedora and linux) I don’t know a lot about it, I’m more confused than ever! :rolleyes:

    Anyhow I was quoting from the "Official Fedora™ Companion" by Nick Petreley published by Redhat® Press™ Chapter 5 page 103. I thought they might have some knowledge of it, apparently I’m not understanding or whatever.
    It probably doesn’t solve the problem anyway.

    Nvidia drivers don't support 3D under Linux? Damm, I guess I better stop playing Quake, Homeworld and Far Cry then. :p

    Well presumably you have either eth0 or eth1 set as network connection ?
    ifconfig shows you active connections.
    ifup eth0
    will activate eth0, ifdown deactivates.

    check out /etc/sysconfig/network-script
    & /etc/sysconfig/networking
    then take look at the ifcfg-ethX scripts [where X = 0/2/3 and so fourth for the amount of adapters you have].
