Hi,
I have tried using the x86_64 dvd.
The system installs, however, I cannot get X to work.
I have tried other systems, and the only one that X seems to work with
is SUSE 10.
The video card is an onboard s3 on a Via K8M800 socket 754 motherboard.
The processor is an AMD Semperon 3000+
Has anybody else had these problems and is there a solution?

I've had problems with S3's before and a fix for FC4 has been discussed
plenty of times before. You may want to google it.
However,
I do not know whether it applies to 64 bit Linux - so I may be talking
from where the sun don't shine.
Other solution is simple.
Plug in an nVidia card.
I for one have NEVER had problems with them (OK, you have to run the
binary installer to get it working but I equate it with installing a
driver in Windows - same thing).
Regards,
Ed.
