    Linux experts? need help with Fedora Core 2 and ATI

    I installed the x86_64 fedora core 2 dual booting with windows xp.
    successfully loaded the Via Velocity network drivers
    downloaded the ATI drivers for xorg, from what I can tell, I am using Xorg 6.7, (really dont know anything about linux, so I could be wrong).
    Followed their instructions, after I reboot, linux loads, it shows the text login prompt, it then usually loads up the graphical login, then KDE. But with drivers loaded it just goes to a black screen, signal light on monitor shows up, but just a blank screen.
    I used a live cd to reset the xorg.conf file and have tried a couple HOWTO's and used many example xorg.conf files with the exact same results. I also tried using the the xfree86 driver and got the same result.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    using
    ATI Radeon 9600XT, built by ATI
    Soltek K8Tpro-939 mainboard
    3200+ athlon 64
    1 GB ram
    Hitachi CML174SX 17" LCD, tried using DVI and Analog cables
    kernel is what came on the DVD, 2.5.? maybe?

      HP 17-cd0606ng no Windows or Linux Boot, exept idle=poll Boot-Parameter
      by mr.malcom
      Hello,

      this is a very strange Problem:

      Notebook hang instantly on Boot. BIOS is accesable.
      Windows: instant after showing "loading circle", even Windows Boot Stick hang instant (even without installed SSD/NVME )
      Linux: instantly (if Linux Boot in leagacy Mode with log messages: Machine Check exception after 0.25 sec)

      i have tried:
      - only one RAM Stick, another working RAM, both RAM channel
      - BIOS Flash to newest Version F.50, BIOS Reset
      - Memtest86 hang instant at Test 2
      - HP UEFI Diagnostic wont find...

      Requests to Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux Ubuntu x86_64
      by tsavpyn
      Dear all,
      I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
      Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.

      My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.

      I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
      I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
      I would really appreciate it if anyone...

      MS Surface Book 3 - Keyboard works only in UEFI/Linux
      by survivalbloke
      This is a very weird issue which I'm having trouble finding a common thread.

      The keyboard is registering keypresses in either the UEFI, or a live Linux USB environment - I used Ubuntu for testing. The keyboard backlight is lit.

      The keyboard is registering keypresses in Windows or any Windows-related bootable device. For example, it does not work in Hirens Recue or a Windows 11 bootable installer.

      When booted to Windows, not only is the keyboard not registering keypresses, but my USB keyboard is not either!

      USB mouse and integrated trackpad...
