Hi All
I installed F7 using text mode, because when I choose graphical mode, I got a black screen and there was nothing I could do anymore (except for reboot)
However, now thate verything is installed I use to have the exact same problem, after I typed startx, the screen went black (CPU was working for 99%) and the only thing I could do was remotely connect and kill X.
I solved this problem by adding the following to the Device section
Option "DisplayInfo" "FALSE"
Now when I startx i get the following message
~]# startx

Any suggestions why it didn't start X ?
