I did get f10 installed with some difficulty.  I can't remember
the details, but I remember it was a challenge.  And there
was some screen corruption after I did manage to get it
installed.  The screen corruption got a little better after
trying the recommendation in comment #9 of this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471537

But last week, my old CRT monitor died and I replaced
it with a new flat panel.  After that, the screen corruption
came back.  That's why I was trying f11 to see if it would
be any better.  So far, it's not looking good.  Each release
since f6, the i810 driver has been worse for me.  :(

Good luck,
