I assume you are referring to the X gui? The problem is X is likely
trying to drive the PB monitor at rates it can't handle. You'll need to
reconfigure X to properly handle the new monitor.
Does Fedora have a separate X configuration tool? I don't use it hear,
so I'm not sure what the tool is you would do this with.
The other possibility is to edit the config file by hand. It's not that
difficult. Locate the monitor entry an change the frequency settings to
match the pb monitor. Also make sure the resolutions listed are supported.
To get quick access to the computer you can boot it with a rescue disk
and the modify /etc/inittab so that it doesn't start X. There should be
a line that looks like this in there:
id:5:initdefault:
Change the 5 above to a 3 and then reboot.
I hope that helps, maybe some other Fedora users will chime in.
