Description Philipp Ott 2004-10-14 15:05:10 UTC 
Description of problem: X Server cannot be started on FC3T3 with Asus
P4S800D motherboard and Asus 9950 Geforce FX 5900 graphics card. Upon
firstboot the X Server cannot be configured. The monitor flashes and
in the text screen I can see that it discovered the FX graphics card
but fails to initalize X.

firstboot, which attempts to configure X but fails.

I don't think that video card is supported in FC3 stock.  Paste
the output of "lspci -vvn" here and I'll have a look.
