Fedora 10 Snapshot 1 LiveCD has worked much better for than the Beta
Live CD. While trying to use the Beta, I was not able to get it to
boot into X. I had tried to a couple of boot params to force it to
use vesa, but I don't know if those are available anymore. The video
card is listed as an ATI 3200.
Is a fully rawhide updated system supposed to be functionally the same as
SS1? And could you tell me what magic gets it to use vesa, since the obvious
edit of the boot line to include video=vesa doesn't do anything obvious on
any of my systems.
Rawhide is now f10 snap2++
Maybe the video answer you seek is here -

Even with "vga=792" I get a correct resolution text window (I assume, the boot
scroll looks great), but then I get 800x600. When I try to set the resolution I
get a big "display unknown" (or similar) and no window size choices. Previously
I could click the "display" tab and force the display to "generic 1600x1200 LCD"
or similar, and then select a better resolution, log out and in and have it work.
Even with nomodeset I have no way to force the display to anything like reality,
so for the moment I guess I will wait until the real release comes out and see
if it gets fixed.
Thanks for the ideas, clearly the display type is the issue, and the resolution
setting tool no longer allows you to voice an opinion.
