Hi All 

I have done a fresh install of fedora 14 x86_64 from DVD media on a Mesh
Pegasus 15 laptop Athlon 64 +3400  1GB Ram  

Only problem is anaconda doesn't recognise the openchrome 1400x1050 LCD
screen and I made the mistake of using graphical install.
All went well and graphical install appeared as 1600x1200 vesa so I
couldn't see the NEXT button of the bottom of the screen!

Had to boot init 3  and create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf using "xstart" to
debug it. 

All working now though a missed out the final stage of graphical install
such as registering the system  

Should have chosen basic graphic install and then setup the display
later! 

Got DVD playback working :- 

Added rpmfusion yum repository then:-
yum install xine*
yum install gstreamer*  
yum install gnome-mplayer*  
yum install totem* 
yum install audacious* 

Had to get libdvdcss from http://rpm.pbone.net/ 

Thanks to all the developers !!! 
Fedora 14 Looks Great !!
