Fedora 17 Graphical Issue
Hi! Im experiencing some weird situation and i havent been able to find a solution on the web.
After the "f" logo is loaded the screen goes blank and starts flickering (obviously some graphical error).
Sometimes I get a purple color all over the screen instead. Sometimes, while the f logo is loading, the edge of the screen appears in the middle and the display splits from the sides, like some broken TV channel. And when I move my mouse to the top right, I get white vertical lines and they dissapear as soon as i take my mouse away.
Once I blined tried Ctrl + Alt + F2 and managed to reboot the system so it seems the system is still running in the background.
Eventualy I found out that it was GRUB that was causing the problem. A temporary solution is to press "e" when GRUB is loading and change the line "set gfxpayload=keep" to "set gfxpayload=text".
But thats only for the next boot.
Anybody familiar with anything similar ? I don't know what to do !
Thanks in advance.
