I have the problem on several different systems (P3 and P4), different videocards (Intel 810, ASUS/NVIDIA and ATI) and different monitors (Daewoo, Iiyama and Compaq) starting with RHEL5.0 up to RHEL5.2 (including SL5.0 -> SL5.2Beta and CentOS 5.0 -> 5.1) after doing a clean installation. Firstboot works fine without a problem. Rebooting and everything goes wrong. The cure is every time the same: change the content of xorg.conf (manually or by using system-config-display). You might want to read the extensive bugreport filed with CentOS about this problem: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1719. Hope this helps. Regards, Patrick
