I'm having trouble getting Fedora (or Ubuntu or Windows) to do a normal boot.
When I try to boot Windows or Ubuntu in normal mode, it gets to a certain point then the monitor turns off and nothing more happens. I finally got Fedora 14 to work by selecting basic video. But when I upgraded to 17, same thing happened: got to a point then the monitor turned off.
Can anyone help me? I'd thought it might be a video driver issue but on three separate is installations?
Could be that the system's picking a video rate that your monitor can't handle. One of mine did that. In the end, I hand edited a ~/.config/monitors.xml file to specify the screen resolution that the monitor would work at.
