I have a similar problem with mh HP zv something or another on FC5. FC4
seemed to work ok. I think what's happening on mine is the display chip is
being told to shut down the display, but when it comes back up, it doesn't
initialize it correctly. It puts big blocks of color on the screen.
Otherwise, it's working well. I did have to use ndiswrapper to get the
Broadcom wifi working. I could not get the included wifi driver working.
With FC4 I had to get an ATI driver for the screen, but FC5 seems to work
well with the included code (maybe that's the problem?).
