Fedora Troubles

sroberts82 · 2005-07-25 19:26:21

Can anybody help me here? I have an Dell Inspiron 1150 and partitioned the drive and installed fedora 3 on one of the partitions. Windows still works grand but whenever I try to open linux the screen just goes green. Is it a video driver problem and if so any pointers on where to get the right driver?

It's a rather common problem because your graphics card shares RAM with your system and X doesn't know how to deal with that. Updating your BIOS would be advisable first of all, and if that doesn't help, this might: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/i810-HOWTO.html
