Okay, this gets more and more interesting. I googled for Fedora pink
console and after a little digging, found a link to the following bug that
apparently causes this as well as other video corruption related issues:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242
so after reading this, I did a few tests and I am indeed able to access the
console; However, from a visual perspective, it is completely unreadable.
This is sort of funny in an ironic sense. I have sighted assistance here
and I was hoping to get help importing the yum gpg key so I could then
installBRLTTY, a telnet server, Gnopernicus, etc. However, now neither of
us can see what's on the screen! There's a fix for this issue in the above
bug report but how I'm supposed to do this without any accessibility is
beyond me.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: Fedora 4, can't access consoles?
Hi all,
I just did a telnet install of Fedora 4. Everything seemed to go well
enough. After the instalation, the system came up to First boot. I got
through first boot with sighted assistance; However, I can't access the text
mode consoles. If for example, I attempt to do control+alt+f1, I get a pink
box outlining the edges of my screen and nothing else, no login prompt etc.
When this happens, the only Thing I can do is reboot with control alt
delete. has anyone seen this before and if so, is there a workable
solution?
this one's going to be fun, kind of like the chicken and the egg-- I don't
see how I can troubleshoot this without any accessibility, but if I can't
get to the console mode, I can't install accessibility-- grumble!
