(hoping this is still the right ML for F10 preview reports.)
i just tried to do an F10 preview install on a gateway MX7120 laptop
with an ATI radeon 200M video chipset and i was told (from memory):
"X startup failed, falling back to text mode."
i have no major issue with a text mode install, but this seems like
a fairly standard setup (1440x900) display, so it's not clear why X
couldn't handle something like this. thoughts?

p.s. it's an i386 install, even though the laptop itself has a
64-bit athlon cpu, but i don't see that that would cause the problem.
i've been wrong before, though.
