good suggestion, tried that and 25 secs into the install the system switches from output
of
messages to the console to a black screen with a blue section on the right. Then it just
sits
there.
So I figure my system hardware is borked, perhaps.
Try the Fedora 16 beta. That was what I used to install my Imac. I later
upgraded to the Fedora 16 release. The beta kernel worked with the
nomodeset kernel command line option, the release kernel does not work
with it. On the beta kernel I have not been able to get X running, it
kind of works on the release kernel, X works when started with startx.
When I boot into graphical mode, it shows the background on the 640*480
mode and a full screen. The display settings show 2 screens, one unknown
screen. Graphical login is kind of borked: blue with red...
I wish i had some more time to p[lay around a write a decent BZ...
