Hello ,
this similar to my issue - I am using F16  a Dell Laptop (Precision
M4500)  connected to the docking station and one external monitor. If I
am booting kernel kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 all works fine. 
but if I boot kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64 or kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64 I
do not see the Login Box.
