After the user login screen, the background is just a bunch of off colored pixles. After a second it shows the desktop and everything loads. Then, when I try to do anything, after about 15 seconds the screen goes blank and shows a bar of the wierd pixles down the middle of the screen. The computer is frozen after this and I cant do anything.

If someone could let me know why this is happening, and what I could do to fix it, it'd help a ton. Sorry for being such a noob. :-\

Thanks
Matt

What kind of hardware do you have?
Video:
Motherboard:
Memory:
Processor:
Devices:
Monitor:

What kind of install is it (Personal, Workstation, Server)?
What settings did the X-Windows System set your install to?
Does this behaviour happen when it's a clean install, as in just Fedora?
Have you loaded anything such as drivers, libraries, utilities or applications to the operating system?
If so, what did you do exactly?

Sorry for not being more specific.

Video: Onboard- Intel 8281
Motherboard: Intel 810
Memory: 64 mb
Processor: Intel Family 6 Model 8
Monitor: Gateway EV700

I've been looking around for more information on the problem and I've noticed other people with an Intel 810 have been having similar problems.

I did a Workstation install.
I have not downloaded any drivers ect.
I am dual-booting with Windows ME >.< on hda and FC3 on hdb.

Hope that helps,
Matt

*edit: And, if it is a driver problem how would I go about installing it?

Ok, I think I've fixed it.

Anyone else having the same problem- I found a suggestion at another forum that worked good for me:

"It is a known bug with the i810 card driver and xorg:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzill...g.cgi?id=132267

Try this instead of the noaccel option:
I added this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Section "Screen":

Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpand" "true"
Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "true"
Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" "true"
Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" "true"

Worked OK for me."

I also have the 810 but it didnt work for me.

After a full install the the Core dektop boots up and i am able to use everything fine. The problem only starts when i reboot, i also get the pixelated screen which is unreadable.

I have tryed the fix by adding the 4 lines above to xorg.conf but it makes no difference when i reboot.

Anyone got any idea's ????

Charlieb- I havn't tried any other way because other worked fine for me...but also posted on http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sh...ight=810+worked was to add noaccel to your xorg.conf

I would check to make sure that you have the Xaa- commands entered in the correct place on your xorg.conf and if still no luck try the noaccel method.

Hope this helps some....good luck

Matt
