Was going to put F11 on my Dell XPS710, but neither Anaconda installer<br>
(on x86_64 installation DVD) nor x86 LiveUSB bring up video.<br>

<br>So it's been a struggle so far, but I want to repartition. I could probably use gparted but I can't remember if it can resize LVM. <br><br>Or I could re-install, provided I'm somehow able to provide my own xorg.conf to Anaconda.<br>
<br>So is that possible? Can a user supply a custom xorg.conf to Anaconda?<br><br clear="all">For the record, this has been a real goddamned nuisance and IMHO certainly not something a so-called "average user" could have taken on.<br>
