[Sussex] Fedora system which will not start

Hello there,

If the graphics are on the blink, suggest temporarily change the default run 
level
from 5 to 3.

That way, instead of graphics by default, you get a nice and proper text 
based command
line to play with.

Then you can tweek the graphics to get it to work.

Is the new upgrade recognising the graphics chip ok ?
Try running startx from the command line and watch what happens.

Some chips do need some help to get into default 800x600 SVGA mode.

Since you've tried different CRTs, I don't think the horizontal sync or 
vertical sync
needs adjusting.

Regards
