Is there some switch to boot with vesa instead of detecting your

card and using "nv" for example? I have a newer mobile 8400 card and
the screen just goes black when it starts the gui. I have been trying
to build a rawhide dvd since F7 doesn't detect my dvd drive after the
initial boot, which seems kind of odd that it boots and loads up and
then ask cd/http/nfs and then can't find the dvd driver. FC6 installs
but doesn't find the tg3 nic so updating turns into a problem :)
On the installer command line:
xdriver=vesa
If you've already installed, boot into runlevel 3 and edit xorg.conf.
And yeah, G80 LVDS is broken, even upstream. I'm currently beating on
it, hopefully have a fix soon. F7 is broken because the nv driver
attempts to claim all G80 devices as belonging to nv, which turned out
to be a mistake.
