fc19 fails radeon hd7000

[Randolph Jones]

I installed fc19 on an a55m-e motherboard with builtin hd7000 gpu

on boot screen has garbage at login; fiddling around gets me past login
to gnome.
the display is unusable; no text on icons, screen flashing, etc

booting into fc14 no problems; runs fine

what is wrong?
TIA

I have a GPU like this. Try the Xfce spin. You can't get 3D acceleration on
this AMD GPU without the closed-source AMD Catalyst driver (which I get
from RPM Fusion), and GNOME requires 3D. Xfce does not, and that's a good
place tostart.
