No, it *no longer* works under XP. Before the install, it worked fine
under XP. For the first few screens of the install, it also worked
OK. Then it stopped working, under either FC6 or XP.

True, FC6 fed it a "bad signal". The monitor displays a message when
frequency is out of range; it doesn't just shut off. In this case, it
displayed some specks.
