As always thanks alot for your help. When I tried to use that Kernel
exception the screen changed colors again with lots of wavey lines on it and
then went back to the error message. Several things I pulled out of the
message read as such:
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: invalid argument
XIO: Fatal IO error 104
Let me know if there is any other info that would be helpful in diagnosing
this. Thanks
