      Hi,
        

        when i boot on Fedora CD/DVD (whatever it is as version
          17/18) result of a blank screen.
        to be able to install i need to install with
          troubleshooting mode and "run in basic graphic mode"
        

        i have a nvida graphic card so i guess here is the problem.
        is there a solution to run in a better resolution than what
          basic graphic mode propose ?
        

    Guides for installing the proprietary Nvidia driver are here  and here. 
    They outline two different ways to get to the same goal.  I've had
    success with the first method, while others have not and prefer the
    second.

    
    The driver should boot your display in the correct resolution, so
    it's unlikely that you will need to edit xorg.conf to set that.
