I tried that, with the same results. Actually in the X.log, there is a
line that says that the chipset doesn't support modeset anyway,
so the nomodeset option probably doesn't do anything.

Hmm. I may have to try this one if I can't get anything else to work.
Unfortunately, at this location, all my other linux boxes are quite old;
running FC 3 and such. But I'll try to see if this will work. I hope I
don't have to continue doing this for the upcoming F12.
Thanks
