All,
Was going to put F11 on my Dell XPS710, but neither Anaconda installer
(on x86_64 installation DVD) nor x86 LiveUSB bring up video.
I could certainly install in text mode
The text-based install doesn't install any of the GUI stuff. I thought I could just reconfigure once I got booted up.
Any suggestions other than removing the second 8800 temporarily would be welcome.
The problem appears to be that X requires the two video cards to be identified in xorg.conf with their PCI BusIDs.
Because of the problems I have experienced, originally I was only able to install in text mode, but, as the guy at fedoraforum mentioned, for some !&*@&*%$ reason, you don't get to partition the drive when you install in this mode and it took the whole volume.
So it's been a struggle so far, but I want to repartition. I could probably use gparted but I can't remember if it can resize LVM.
Or I could re-install, provided I'm somehow able to provide my own xorg.conf to Anaconda.
So is that possible? Can a user supply a custom xorg.conf to Anaconda?
For the record, this has been a real goddamned nuisance and IMHO certainly not something a so-called "average user" could have taken on.

If I had a mineshaft, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way.
