Hello,
 I have Fedora 12 installed on this machine and it works wonderfully cept
 for the ATI drivers which i understand is not a Fedora issue it is a AMD
 issue. However I tried to install Fedora 11 64bit on a secondary drive
 to allow for me to use the things that require 3d support such as games.

 When i go to install Fedora 11 the computer shows the grub menu on the
 DVD and proceeds to try and load the installer however during the intial
 loading of Anaconda i get an error message saying that it was unable to
 configure X so dumping to the text installer.

 Now if this installer would still install all the packages the graphical
 one would i could then dabble with a custom corg.conf to get the display
 working, however this seems to only install 183 packages which I assume
 are the bare bones packages needed to boot into a Kernel. It also fails
 to configure or even detect my network card in this fashion as well.

 My Hardware is as follows I have added the newegg links to the items so
 you can get full specs if you think that will help:

 2x Powercolor AX4650 1gb Radeon Graphics cards -

 4gb of DDR2 1066 Kingston Ram -

 As mentioned this exact setup works with Fedora 12 just fine the only
 difference is the HDD for that is a Seagate not a samsung. Any ideas on
 how to get this to work? Is it hopeless to try?

 thanks,
 Andrew Jamison
