I have the subject problem,which both have their problems namely:
FC1/ I have a GeForce fx 5700 video card,it's not detected/supported so I get the Vesa driver and so no mplayer and the like.
FC2/ No sound after install/login to KDE,I thought I had it fixed but a kernel upgrade killed that so silence.
Which is the better choice 'Low grade video driver' 'No sound' 'find another distro' or 'wait for FC3'
Strangely FC1 has sound and FC2 supports my video.
I would be interested in your thoughts
