Hi all,

Still no success on the graphics. I get the graphical screen come up 
with the word
Fedora and 1 dot under the F (are the number of dots some kind of 
indication of
progress? Not sure but I thoough it might be a clue).

at this point, the mouse still works and the keyboard still has power 
but it's as though the
keyboard doesn't work. Not even the caps lock, number lock etc. lights 
change
when I press the associated buttons. Needless to say Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't 
work.

I am still trying to do what has already been suggested but in the mean 
time, if someone
could take a look at my dmesg (attached), I'd appreciate it.

Also, while I was in runlevel 3, I created an xorg.conf.new file and 
have also attached that.
Perhaps it can give some clues as to what's going on.

Thanks,
Steve Laurie
