and half ago and I have not received any response so I thought I would send
an email here. I have been using the rawhide kernel since
(2.6.13-1.1600_FC5 and I am running 1615 now. During the boot, only part of
the screen is visable. For example the monitor the is the lines and I can
only see text in the asterik area. The bottom of the area I can see is only
the top half of the line. It is like someone cut off the bottom of my
monitor.

I have a Number Nine revolution 4 video card and a SGI 1600sw lcd panel.
Help the kernel guys out with a little more info. Attach the results of
lspci to your bugzilla entry. Did it work with stock FC4? Try another
monitor to isolate the problem to the card or the monitor. Are the card
and the monitor being detected correctly? Get the kernel source and
check for recent changes in the kernel module for that video card. Are
you running all of rawhide or just the kernel? Does dmesg say anything
about it?
