Last week, I said the heck with it and did a yum update to rawhide from F8+updates. It performed OK but upon boot, x didn't want to come up, and think the error messages was about version mismatches or something.
Well, just now, I was going to do a fresh rawhide install on same machine (wipe out F8 completely), but when it got to starting X to perform the install, it wouldn't run, not even in vesa (from the quick msg I saw come across), so it went into text mode (which I cancelled at that time). Would it had worked if I had went ahead with the text mode install, then tried to get X configured to start post-install?
So, is xorg not fully functioning as of yet, with the new compiles that went on recently and I am guessing still happening?
This was on a PIV 2.8Ghz w/1G ram, and an X1300 ATI card.
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.
