  (hoping this is still the right ML for F10 preview reports.)

i just tried to do an F10 preview install on a gateway MX7120 laptop
with an ATI radeon 200M video chipset and i was told (from memory):

"X startup failed, falling back to text mode."

  i have no major issue with a text mode install, but this seems like
a fairly standard setup (1440x900) display, so it's not clear why X
couldn't handle something like this.  thoughts?

The reason X failed is probably in /var/log/Xorg.0.log - can you get it somehow? Perhaps by booting a livecd?

And, have you tried booting with "nomodeset"? Does that work?
