I presume you mean when logging in at the console, the fonts look a bit glitchy and flickery at times.
no, that's not it.. the monitor goes into power off mode - the LED turns orange.
That sounds like the X server trying to start and failing. It did just as you describe about 8 times. I JUST experienced the same thing on a Fedora 8 install. Although, it finally failed and asked if I wanted to view the log and manually configure....
I had an un-identified monitor.....
It sounds like you might have removed X already too, so ignore this if it's not relevant... Dennis
