Hi,
This is a bit of a whiny post but at its heart is a serious point.
F10 didn't work on my hardware. It looks like F11 won't either. In fact F9 only worked when I turned RHGB off.
This is due to a problem with X and support for my (fairly standard) video hardware (Intel D845GERG2 on-board controller, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470371).

My question is, what now?
- Wait until it gets fixed? If so please tell me when this might happen so I can try out some different distros and come back at the appropriate time.
- Update my hardware? Are we saying this hardware isn't supported and this is an acceptable way to deprecate it?
- Work in text mode? Come on, it's 2009.
- Fix it myself? This might be a bit beyond me.
These are the options as I see them. I understand that Fedora pushes leading edge development but for me this Just Doesn't Work (TM). And would reflect badly for any new users trying this.
If there's a better way to handle this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Leon...
