http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'm trying to install Fedora 16, 64 bit, on a Toshiba Satellite C855-S5206. Single hard drive, 8GB RAM. I did have Ubuntu 12.1 running on it, but I don't like its interface much. No other installed OS. In the install sequence of windows (screens) the screen appears left/right split. In that the right side of the screen is to the left of what should be the left edge. I have to run the mouse over the right edge and back across the left edge of the screen to get the NEXT boxes, and then back left to back to the next selection. It stays this way after install and reboots. Setting the scr (HowTos)

Hi everyone,

We bought a workstation for our lab - the T1650 workstation from Dell that comes with an Intel Xeon processor and a ATI Firepro V4900 graphics card.

Running 12.04 LTS. This is extremely annoying and makes me want to try another flavor of linux. Yes, this little inconvenience is THAT annoying to me. Most of the time the launcher will appear nice and easy as soon as I mouse over the upper left corner, but many times, the left edge of the screen will get a little darker, but the launcher will not appear.

I have been trying to dual boot ubuntu with windows 7 via WUBI on my custom built pc but without success. When i start the computer i can choose windows or ubuntu i choose ubuntu and when i should get to the login screen the screen just stays purple/pink. Tried safe mode but cant get in there either. I have tried reinstall but did not work either.

I just transferred a HP pavilion dv2000 from windows to Ubuntu 12.04.

When it starts up there there are lines across the screen and after I log in, The mouse can't reach the edge of the screen on the left and if you touch the top of the screen with the cursors, a bar runs top to bottom and stays there as long as it touches the top.

Hey folks, I have a system with three screens running Ubuntu 11.10 86_64. Those screens are located next to each other and the X-Server is configured with Xinerama. The screen in the middle is the main screen and all desktop-icons are located on the left one by default (files, links, ...). If I want to move one of these icons to another screen, I try to drag and drop those.

Fedora 15 Not Booting 1 week 4 days ago

Dear all,

Thanks for reading my woes.

I put fedora 15 on my tower about 18 - 24 months ago. About 7-8 months ago I had to move to London for 6 months so I left my tower in storage rather than lug it all the way down and the lug it all the way back up again.

Today I tried to reconnect it and get it going.

After I left it plugged in for a while I attempted to boot up.
