Hi, I'm trying to install fc17 from a USB key and the graphical install crashes with a segfault and falls back to text-mode install. I have an Asus P8B-M motherboard with an onboard "Aspeed AST2050 with 16MB VRAM" video chip. How can I copy the /tmp/X.org log file to the USB key so I can attempt to find out what's wrong? Would it even benefit anyone or help with getting it installed on my system? What are my options right now? I know I could probably go back to fc16 or wait until fc18 and hope it's fixed, or buy another video card, but I'd like to see if there's something I'm missing that I can do right now. Text mode isn't an option for me, because I need better control over the disk formatting options. Ideas greatly appreciated.
If you're on a network, you can go for a text install, then select an option to run a VNC server, then connect to the machine over the network with TigerVNC, and run the same GUI version of Anaconda to execute the install.
