I'm not sure how often the anaconda stage2 images are built, which is where it gets the X drivers. I'm sure Jeremy's told me at some point though. The vesa and radeonhd drivers should both be working with rawhide though. If you go ahead with a text-mode install, you should get the abortive X logs in the installed system under /var/log/anaconda, I believe; it would be enlightening to see them. - ajax -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
