RC3 is even worse than TC6 was on Asus U38N (AMD A8-4555). Where I was
able to get to a graphical install with TC6 by appending 'nomodeset
video=1920x1080-32" to the kernel command line (and removing 'quiet'),
in RC3 even that doesn't help. While booting, at Xorg start switch to
Xorg driver causes whole screen to be black and never come to a working state.

I've tried several distributions, all fail the same way with KMS. F18
works with nomodeset but is very slow. openSUSE 12.3 works with
nomodeset and seems to be generally faster, OpenGL is accelerated.

When TC6 starts to graphic mode and gives first Anaconda screen, it
shows an error message box where the only button I could press is
'Quit':
