http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I installed fedora 17 and everything was working well until trying to install the catalyst drivers installed them using this guide: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 Now I boot into a black screen. I did boot into text mode and run at configuration - initial. No errors were reported. I rebooted and still had a black screen. My card is the hd 6950. It works fine with the catalyst drivers in debian testing. Any ideas? (HowTos)

Problem installing ati drivers 37 weeks 6 days ago

I've got a HD 6470M with my ASUS B43S computer. I tried following the guide here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 but I must have messed something up. When I rebooted at the end, the boot up process just stops at a screen listing many green OK's and one red failed on the left. The failed message was: "Failed to start LSB: Init script for TCSD".

I just installed Xen on my existing Fedora 17 machine like this: Code: yum install xen libvirt virt-manager libvirt-daemon-xen python-virtinst libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-driver-network Then I rebooted to Xen, was prompted for my password, looked at the loading bar finishing and then I got stuck with a black screen. Problems like this seem to be rather old, e.g.
