Getting high-end graphics cards working has been and still is a
problem. If the drivers on the installation disc do not work the
fallback is to get the latest driver packages from the Livna
repository, http://rpm.livna.org/. Here's a link from Fedora Forums
regarding the Radeon drivers, http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon . The
FAQ for nVidia driver is directly below it.
