After searching on the web, discovered a work-around by setting the
driver in the xorg.conf to "vesa". The only problem with this work-
around, it seems the display may be limited to 800 by 600,
Thinks to all the people on the net.

I'll begin by mentioning my system works fine under FC3. I

have a dual boot system with FC3 and FC4.
Trying to do the clean FC4 install using the windowing option resulted
in a white screen. Retried the installation in text mode and the
installation completed successfully. When the system booted, post
installation, the same white screen reappeared.
Rebooted with "init 3" to come up in text mode. Only one anomaly was
noted. About every fifth keyboard entry results in the appearance of
one white square character in the center of the screen that lasts for
one keystroke.
Tried "startx" and was confronted with the white screen. Switching to
a
virtual console results in a confused mess of blue and gray box
characters. Can log in successfully after which the screen has a blue
border with a working screen within the border. The first few pixels
of
the character that should be on the left edge are actually on the
right
edge. That is the first character of the line is split on the right
and
left edge.
The "xorg.conf" configuration file is the same in FC3 and FC4. So for
the moment I am perplexed. The hardware is the same and the
configuration file is the same. I have appended the configuration
file.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
(I have installed all the updates as of June 25 2005. I can't execute
system-config-display from the console in that I get a white screen.
Was unable to locate xorgcfg or xorgsetup in Fedora as mentioned on
the
x.org site.)
